BHP Group to decide on future of Western Australian nickel operations by Aug

22 Apr 2024 16:16 reported by Stanley Wang

A A A
BHP Group announced plans to reveal the fate of its Western Australian nickel operations by August, alongside revised output estimates for fiscal 2024 from its Queensland coal operations due to weather impacts.

As the world's largest listed miner, BHP is scrutinizing its Western Australian nickel operations while prioritizing cash preservation. The nickel supply market is influenced by increased supply from Indonesia, challenging production viability in higher-cost regions like Australia.

CEO Mike Henry stated efforts to optimize operations and preserve value are underway. BHP anticipates producing between 21.5 million tons and 22.5 million tons of metallurgical coal in fiscal 2024, down from previous estimates due to weather disruptions.

Despite challenges, BHP reported increased iron ore output in the third quarter, driven by the ramp-up of its South Flank mine and operational enhancements in Pilbara. The South Flank mine is projected to reach full capacity by the end of fiscal 2024.
