Abstract: Abstract BHP commenced operations in 1885 as a miner of silver, lead and zinc, and later expanded its principal mineral interests in order to satisfy the majority of the raw material requirements of its steel operations. Those mineral interests have since been further developed, and the Company managed large mining operations, including joint ventures in a number of foreign jurisdictions. BHP Minerals produced iron ore, coking coal and manganese ore in Australia, copper concentrate and gold in Chile, Papua New Guinea and Peru, copper metals in the United States and energy coal in the United States and Australia. BHP also had a 49% interest in an iron ore project in Brazil. It became a major global player in this sector, with strategic leadership being critical to its outcomes.
