Organic growth has always been BHP’s first order of business
It's been a big year of acquisitions for the world's biggest miner, but BHP insists it has maintained an opportunistic approach to inorganic growth as opposed to framing its growth strategy around deals. Months after its attempt to buy Anglo American was shot down, BHP announced it was was teaming up with Lundin Mining to buy out Filo Corp and its Argentinian and Chilean copper assets for some US$2.1 billion.
Henry said despite the tough market conditions, the company still delivered a "solid" operational performance and extended its lead as the world's lower-cost iron ore producer. It's Western Australian iron ore business, for example, recorded C1 unit costs of $15.84/t of iron ore. Henry said BHP's cost position was a deliberate move from the company to mitigate weakness in commodity pricing, which it has been predicting for some time.
