Billiton became a global leader in the metals and mining sector and a major producer of aluminium and alumina, chrome and manganese ores and alloys, steaming coal, nickel and titanium minerals. Billiton also developed a substantial and growing copper portfolio.

Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) is an integrated system of four processing hubs and five mining hubs, connected by more than 1,000 kilometres of rail infrastructure and port facilities in the Pilbara region of northern Western Australia.

Use of advanced sensors and real-time process control can improve quality and grade delivered to processing plants, which boosts performance and reduces energy and water intensity. For instance, the BHP Precision Mining project is exploring opportunities to maximise copper output and extend the life of our ndida mine in Chile.

Our Jansen project in Saskatchewan, Canada has the potential to become one of the world's largest potash mines, providing a rich source of potassium to create nutrient-rich soils capable of maximising food production.

Our CAD$14 billion (US$10.5 billion) investment in the Jansen project will deliver a potash mine in Saskatchewan designed to maximise sustainability. The Jansen site is located approximately 140 kilometers east of Saskatoon.

The BHP FutureFit Academy is a training facility offering paid training pathways into mining for those without any previous mining experience at any stage of their life. From day one at the Academy you are a permanent BHP employee.
