BHP BILLITON PROVIDES FURTHER DETAILS ON ITS FUTURE GROWTH PROFILE
Marius Kloppers, Chief Executive Officer of BHP Billiton, spoke at the Merrill
Lynch Global Mining conference in Florida on Tuesday, 13 May 2008. During his
presentation, he reviewed BHP Billiton`s strategy of focussing on tier 1, low-
cost and long-life assets. He also highlighted the Group`s scale and
diversification as well as its focus on high margin commodities both in its
current production profile and future development pipeline.
As part of his speech, he went on to outline BHP Billiton`s superior potential
for growth relative to Rio Tinto. Over the period between 2007 and 2012, BHP
Billiton`s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be 6.9 per cent on
a copper equivalent volume basis. On a comparable basis, Rio Tinto is expected
to deliver a CAGR of around 6 per cent. More importantly BHP Billiton`s growth
is driven by higher margin commodities such as petroleum and iron ore.

Merrill Lynch Global Mining conference.
