Facts

as of Nov 15, 2026

BHP is a mining company founded in 1885 at Broken Hill in New South Wales and now headquartered in Melbourne, ranking as the largest miner in the world by market value. Its portfolio is deliberately concentrated in commodities it expects to benefit from population growth and electrification: iron ore from Western Australia, copper from Escondida in Chile and the South Australian assets, and metallurgical coal for steelmaking. The group is building the Jansen potash mine in Canada as its next major growth engine, has exited petroleum by merging that business into Woodside, and continues to reshape its portfolio toward future-facing metals.
