BHP nears decision on WA nickel

BHP is nearing a decision regarding its nickel operations in Western Australia. The company, which has been conducting a review of these assets since February, is expected to unveil its long-term strategy by August, CEO Mike Henry said on Thursday.

Despite encountering adverse weather conditions, BHP managed to increase nickel production by 1% in the first nine months of the year, reaching 59 000 t. Full-year output is anticipated to fall in the lower half of the guidance range, which spans between 77 000 t and 87 000 t.
