Overview
About BHP
BHP Group Limited (ASX: BHP; NYSE: BHP; LSE: BHP) is a Melbourne, Australia-based diversified global mining major and one of the world’s largest resources companies. While best known for iron ore, copper, nickel and metallurgical coal, BHP is increasingly positioned as a supplier of critical and future-facing minerals essential to the energy transition, with copper now contributing roughly half of its earnings. Its nickel and copper operations supply battery and electrification supply chains, and the company evaluates exposure to other critical minerals.
Founded in 1885, BHP operates major assets including the Escondida copper mine in Chile, Western Australia Iron Ore, and the Jansen potash project in Canada. As a diversified conglomerate rather than a rare-earth pure-play, BHP’s relevance to the critical-minerals theme stems from copper, nickel and broader strategic-metals production supporting decarbonisation and defence supply security.
