Key themes Strong performance and superior shareholder returns We remain positive on the outlook for our company Our uniquely diversified resource endowment remains a competitive advantage Strong momentum in our major businesses Our longer term development options Focused on productivity, efficiency and predictability in order to maximise returns Slide 4

Strong operating performance and the benefits of diversity Robust operating performance including record production at 1 operations The value of our diversified strategy was reflected in the Group s robust FY12 financial results Underlying EBIT of US$27.2 billion and Underlying EBIT margin of 39% 1 Attributable profit (excluding exceptional items) of US$17.1 billion Net operating cash flow of US$24.4 billion, the second highest level on record Strength in diversity 1 (EBIT margin, %) Strong cash generating capacity throughout the economic cycle 3 (US$ billion) 32 H1 H2 24 1. Excludes third party trading activities. 2. Negative margins are not shown as the y-axis is set at zero. SSM had a negative EBIT margin in FY9; Aluminium had a negative EBIT margin in FY12. 3. Net operating cash flow reflects proportional consolidation of joint ventures for FY7 and future periods.

The pace of the supply response will significantly impact pricing Robust aluminium demand will continue to be met by strong supply The low cost iron ore supply response is well advanced Forecast supply additions relative to anticipated 2 year demand growth (2 to 22) (%) 1 In copper, declining ore grades and rising costs will continue to constrain the supply response and support a relatively steep cost curve The requirement for significant new capacity in potash suggests prices will be sustained at a level high enough to induce new supply 8 6 4 Supply required to meet demand growth Low cost supply response expected between CY11 and CY15 2 Aluminium¹ Iron ore Copper Potash Low cost supply delivered to end CY11 Source: BHP Billiton analysis; Wood Mackenzie; Fertecon. Note: Supply refers to low cost mine supply for copper, potash and iron ore; and in the case of aluminium, capacity. 1. Indicates that aluminium demand growth to 22 can be fully supplied from capacity additions by 215. Slide 9

Our uniquely diversified resource endowment remains a competitive advantage 1+ Saskatchewan Potash 1+ Legend 1+ Resource Potential Mineralisation Ratio (years) Minerals - Minimum mineral inventory life at FY12 production rates Petroleum Minimum inventory life based on FY12 production rates Onshore US Petroleum¹ 1+ 1+ Escondida mineral district Copper 2+ Western Australia Iron Ore Olympic Dam Copper/Uranium Queensland Coal 1+ The inventory life is estimated from the mineral inventory (sum of Potential Mineralisation and Mineral Resources) stated on a 1% basis. The detailed breakdown of Mineral Resources for all assets are shown in the BHP Billiton 212 Annual Report. Potential mineralisation values in the pie charts above is the mid case of a range of values that are presented in the Disclaimer slide of this presentation. The range of Potential Mineralisation is estimated from geological information including boreholes, outcrops and geophysical information. The potential quantity is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. It should not be expected that the quality of the Potential Mineralisation is equivalent to that of the Mineral Resource. The minimum mineral inventory or inventory life in years is the mineral inventory divided by the FY12 production rate (for Potash this is the expected FY2 production rate) and does not imply that any mine planning has been completed. In Mineral Provinces (e.g. Pilbara, Bowen Basin) the inventory life of individual mines may be more or less than the number stated above. Refer to disclaimer on slide 3 as presented on 6 November 212. 1. Includes interests in the Fayetteville shale and Petrohawk Energy Corporation. Petroleum Reserves (Proved and Probable) are defined according to US SEC definitions. Petroleum Contingent Resources are 2C resources defined according to the Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resource Management System (SPE PRMS).

Longer term development options Prioritising the highest return growth option at WAIO Inner Harbour Expansion project on schedule first ore loaded during Q1 FY13 from two recently installed shiploaders at Nelson Point car dumper 5 scheduled to process first ore in late CY12 The Inner Harbour will comprise eight berths and eight shiploaders, four each at Nelson Point and Finucane Island, when existing projects are completed Option secured for two additional berths at Burgess Point Potential to debottleneck existing land-side infrastructure The Outer Harbour remains a valuable option for long term growth Port Hedland Inner Harbour Finucane Island SP4 BHP - D BHP - C BHP - G BHP - H Stanley Point SP1 SP3 SP2 Hunt Point PH4 AP4 AP5 Anderson Point PH1 Nelson PH2 Point BHP - A PH3 BHP - B AP1 AP2 Lumsden Point Port Hedland town area AP3 BHP - E BHP - F Burgess Point BP1 South East Creek BP2 Sting Ray Creek Smith Point BHP Billiton berths Option secured for 2 additional BHP Billiton berths at Burgess Point Slide 13

Longer term development options Well placed to meet growing potash demand A major presence in the Saskatchewan basin Jansen Longer term outlook for potash remains attractive Two shafts that will support at least an 8 mtpa operation at Jansen will be fully excavated by end FY14 Mining lease conversions are being progressed Detailed front-end mine planning and engineering for Jansen is well advanced focus is on reducing project risk and maximising investment returns expected to operate at the very bottom of the global cost curve in its expanded state a modular (two phase) development program is likely to reach full capacity within 1 years of final investment approval Final investment decision remains subject to Board approval Slide 14
