Meet Trista, Courtney, Daniel, Chloe and Kelsey from our Olympic Dam apprentice workshop, in South Australia. ‘I’ve always wanted a trade to take home and just want to broaden my skillset as far as I can, learn new things,’ said Trista. Whether it’s taking apart an engine, or welding and fabricating custom pieces, the workshop gives apprentices the chance to get their hands dirty and gives them access to all the tools they need to learn their trade. Even more important are the skillsets and knowledge that can be the foundation of a long and rewarding career. #apprentices #mining #southaustralia

🤷♀️ "Why not?" After seeing an advertisement for BHP apprenticeships four years ago, these are the two words that took Meg from an apprentice chef 👩🍳 to a career in mining 👷♀️. After completing her diesel fitting apprenticeship at Saraji, she went on to work as a heavy diesel fitter and now a maintenance improvement specialist. "It's unlike any other job I've ever had. There is always something new to learn, you get all the support you need to take on a new challenge and you get to make a work family. It's a very special experience." #mining #apprenticeship #queensland

👏 Spence celebrates 3 months of 100% autonomous operation. 👏 We were delighted to welcome our collaborative partners from Komatsu to our Spence operations. They had the opportunity to witness the results of the first stage of our operation, following the successful deployment of 33 CAEX 980E-5 AT trucks and 5 drilling rigs. ✔️ Since achieving full autonomy, Spence has completed the movement of 80 million tons of material without incidents, exceeding the production plan to date. ✔️ This is the largest autonomy fleet operating in Latin America and is among the largest in copper production. #chile #mining #autonomous

"The Data team’s central aspirations is to ‘curate’ the largest global exploration data lake in the world for our Exploration geoscientists— this is a massive but exciting undertaking! I love that the team fosters a strong culture where it’s safe to speak up with unconventional ideas, encourage innovation and diverse thinking." Meet Kanita, Data Capability and Systems Manager in Exploration. She loves the fact every day is different in her role with everything from reviewing geoscience strategy memos to ideating proof-of-concept projects using AI. #xplor #innovation #mining

💪🏾 When fully ramped up, our Jansen potash project is expected to produce over 8.5 million tonnes of potash each year. 🤯 That means BHP is expected to produce about 10% of the world's potash. 📅 First production is planned for late 2026, and we can't wait to see potash from Jansen contribute to more sustainable land use and food security. 🌱
