Craig holds an indirect interest through the Craig Family Trust in 22,500 ordinary shares of BHP Group Limited. The filing also notes that he has no interests in contracts relating to BHP securities. The notice is provided under ASX Listing Rule 3.19A.1 as an initial director’s interest disclosure.

BHP Group Limited reports that Mike Henry retired as an Executive Director of the company on 30 June 2026. The filing includes a final director’s interest notice under ASX Listing Rule 3.19A.3, detailing his relevant interests in BHP securities held via nominee companies.

According to the notice, Citicorp Nominees Pty. Limited holds 471,723 ordinary BHP shares in an account for which Mike Henry is the sole beneficiary, and Aurora Nominees Limited holds 84,671 depositary interests, each representing one ordinary BHP share, also for his sole benefit.

BHP Group Limited filed a Form 6-K detailing internal transfers of shareholdings by Chief Executive Officer Mike Henry. He transferred 471,723 ordinary shares in BHP Group Limited to a Citicorp Nominees Pty Limited account and 84,671 depositary interests to an Aurora Nominees Limited account, both at a stated price of Nil and outside a trading venue on 30 June 2026.

Prior to the change, Henry’s interests included 556,394 ordinary shares held indirectly, plus a maximum of 643,505 performance rights under the Long Term Incentive Plan and 340,109 deferred rights under the Cash and Deferred Plan. The filing characterizes these movements as transfers rather than market trades.

BHP Group Limited outlines changes to its executive leadership team as new Chief Executive Officer Brandon Craig prepares to take charge on 1 July 2026. The existing President Americas role will be split into President North America and President South America to give more focused regional oversight.

Jessica Farrell is appointed President North America effective 1 July 2026 and will also act as interim President South America while recruitment for that position continues. From 1 September 2026, current Chief Operating Officer Edgar Basto becomes Chief Enterprise Performance Officer, retaining responsibility for health, safety, security and the BHP Operating System while driving contractor safety and operating discipline.

On the same date, President Australia Geraldine Slattery will add responsibility for Copper South Australia, bringing all Australian operating assets under her leadership. The filing lists the full Executive Leadership Team under incoming CEO Brandon Craig as of 1 September 2026.

BHP Group Limited has increased the total investment estimate for Jansen Stage 2 potash from US$4.9 billion to US$6.9 billion, with first production now expected in late FY2031. The change follows a detailed review after a previously announced two-year schedule extension.

Stage 2 is 16% complete, with engineering 83% complete as of end-May 2026. It is expected to add about 4.36 Mtpa, taking combined Jansen output to 8.5 Mtpa, roughly 10% of global potash production. At consensus prices, BHP cites an 11% internal rate of return, an eight-year payback and underlying EBITDA margins above 65%. BHP currently expects to record an impairment of approximately US$2.3 billion on the Jansen project, while maintaining FY2027 group capital expenditure guidance at about US$11 billion.

The filing notes that details of his initial interests in BHP shares are provided and confirms he has no interests in related contracts, with Part 3 of the notice marked N/A.

BHP Group Limited has appointed Mark Vassella as a Non-executive Director, effective 1 June 2026. He brings more than 40 years of experience in the global steel industry and materials value chain, including serving as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of BlueScope Steel Limited from January 2018 to January 2026.

BHP highlights his track record running large-scale industrial operations, working with governments, Indigenous partners, communities and business partners, and his focus on safety, decarbonisation and disciplined capital allocation. The Board and Chair Ross McEwan emphasise his global resource development and values-based leadership credentials.

BHP Group Limited shares an investor presentation at the 2026 Bank of America Global Metals, Mining & Steel Conference, highlighting strategy, growth projects and capital allocation.

Copper’s contribution has grown, reaching 51% of Group EBITDA in H1 FY26, with copper production up roughly 30% over four years. BHP cites consistently strong net operating cash flow of more than US$15 billion annually since FY10 and over US$110 billion of shareholder returns since FY17, equal to about 55% of market capitalisation. The company outlines a portfolio of organic copper projects and states an aspiration to unlock up to roughly US$10 billion of undervalued capital through infrastructure-linked and other transactions, while reiterating disciplined capital allocation and a minimum 50% dividend payout policy.
