History and Development

BHP was founded in 1885 in Broken Hill, Australia, initially focused on mining silver, lead, and zinc.

Over time, the company diversified into iron ore, coal, and other industrial minerals as global demand for raw materials expanded.

International expansion accelerated throughout the 20th century, establishing BHP as a major global supplier of essential commodities.

A significant milestone was its merger with Billiton in the early 2000s, creating one of the largest mining companies in the world.

In recent years, BHP has streamlined its portfolio, emphasizing iron ore and copper while investing in commodities linked to energy transition and electrification.

Today, BHP positions itself as a diversified mining company focused on large-scale, low-cost operations and long-term exposure to global infrastructure and resource demand.
