Right-of-Use assets are considered intangible assets and excluded from total assets for the net tangible assets calculation
In accordance with Chapter 19 of the ASX Listing Rules, net tangible assets per share represents the total assets less intangible
assets, less liabilities ranking ahead of, or equally with, ordinary share capital and divided by the number of ordinary shares on
issue at the end of the year.
Dividends
On 22 December 2022, OZ Minerals entered into a SID with BHP, in relation to the proposed acquisition by BHP of all of the issued
shares in OZ Minerals by scheme of arrangement. The SID permits, subject to certain conditions, OZ Minerals to declare and pay
OZ Minerals shareholders a special dividend prior to implementation of the Scheme.
Prior to the Scheme meeting (which is currently expected to be held in mid-April 2023), the Board intends to declare a fully
franked special dividend of $1.75 per share, such dividend conditional on the Scheme becoming effective. If the Scheme does
become effective the special dividend will be paid on the date the Scheme is implemented to OZ Minerals shareholders who hold
OZ Minerals shares on the special dividend record date. The special dividend record date is currently expected to be three days
before the Scheme record date, with both record dates currently expected to be in late-April 2023.
Assuming the special dividend of $1.75 per share is paid, the consideration payable by BHP under the Scheme will be reduced by
this amount. OZ Minerals shareholders who hold shares on both the special dividend record date and the Scheme record date will
receive total consideration of $28.25 per share on the date the Scheme is implemented, with $1.75 being a fully franked special
dividend paid by OZ Minerals and $26.50 being Scheme Consideration paid by BHP.
As stated above, if the Scheme does not become effective the special dividend will not be paid. In that case, the Board will
continue to consider the payment of dividends against its current policy of paying sustainable dividends from pre-growth cash
flow, after taking into consideration the Company’s near term identified capital investment opportunities and maintaining a
strong balance sheet.

Financial Report
5
The year was ultimately dominated by BHP’s proposal to acquire
OZ Minerals for $28.25 per share by way of scheme of arrangement.
BHP’s interest in our company is testament to our quality, long
life assets in quality jurisdictions and, importantly, the agile culture
of innovation, collaboration and inclusion we are creating. It is
recognition that we produce minerals that are in strong demand
for the electrification era.
You will have seen from our announcements that the Board is
recommending shareholders support the transaction when they vote
at the Scheme meeting expected to be held in April, in the absence of
a superior proposal and subject to the independent expert concluding
and continuing to conclude that the transaction is in the best interests
of shareholders.
Given the proposed BHP acquisition is in progress, this Report
and the accompanying Sustainability Review focuses primarily on
the achievements of 2022.
In line with the Corporations Act, should the Scheme be implemented
in line with the current schedule, our current expectation is that an
OZ Minerals Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the financial year
ended 31 December 2022 will not be required.
A growth strategy focussed on modern minerals
Turning now to the past year. We evolved our Strategy from
Copper to Modern Minerals. Our Strategic Aspirations have also
evolved to ensure continued value creation for all stakeholders.
You can read more about our Strategy and Strategic Aspirations
in the Strategy section of this Report.
While production and cost guidance were revised mid year, following
a slower first half due to the impacts of COVID-19 absenteeism,
supply chain disruption and inflationary pressure, we were able to
draw on our cultural and organisational foundations to recalibrate
our performance, delivering a strong final quarter and creating
momentum into 2023.
How we work together towards safe operational
delivery
Disappointingly, our total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR)
increased to 6.99 compared to 4.40 in 2021. This is attributed to
a number of factors including workforce turnover, challenging
underground operating conditions and ramp up in both greenfield
and brownfield execution activities. A one-day company-wide Safety
Stop was implemented in August to address the unacceptable trend
in safety which identified a range of activities to help our people
refocus on their physical and mental wellbeing and to prioritise
initiatives to work safely.
We have been on the journey to embed a culture of inclusion at
OZ Minerals since 2016 with our How We Work Together behaviours
as the bedrock of our culture. As we continue to create and embed
an inclusive environment, and one that says no to bullying, harassment
and discrimination, an inaugural series of CEO Conversation Circles
were held across our operations. These focussed on workforce
experiences of gender equality, inclusion and inappropriate workplace
behaviours. We are now also publishing deidentified reports of
the results of investigations into such incidents on our intranet and
sharing learnings from deidentified incidents in Safety Circles across
our business. The profile of these and other activities has encouraged
people to come forward, speak up and call out such behaviour.
We still have a long way to go but feedback from our teams has
been encouraging.
Dear shareholders,
2022 was a defining year for OZ Minerals.
We made considerable progress on our growth strategy with the West Musgrave copper nickel project
approved and now in construction and the expansions at both Prominent Hill and Carrapateena well
underway. We faced adverse weather conditions, supply chain challenges and the effects of over half
a year of COVID related absenteeism which created a challenging operating environment.

Strategy
Our context
We are a growth company. Our quality, long life, low-cost copper and nickel assets are located in safe and stable jurisdictions. Expansions
are underway at our major operations, we have a new copper nickel mine in construction, several project studies underway and a strong
exploration pipeline.
The world is decarbonising. Copper and nickel are integral to this global energy transition.
As the use of copper increases over the next 20 years, more than half will be used for clean energy.
Copper is also the key ingredient for grid infrastructure that will power businesses and homes in the future.
While we may see short term volatility and demand variations, the medium to long term fundamentals are strong.
Strategy, Strategic Aspirations and The OZWay
We review our Strategy frequently to ensure we are staying in front of mega trends. While we have been focussed on the world’s move towards
electrification for some time now, as evidenced by our progression of West Musgrave, in 2022 we evolved our Strategy from a ‘copper focus’
to encompass ‘modern minerals’. This means our target suite now includes copper and nickel, and we are able to potentially consider other
electrification era metals in future.
In 2022, we also evolved our Strategic Aspirations. These revised Aspirations are centred around decarbonisation, digitisation, collaboration
and a commitment to creating value for all our stakeholders.
Our refreshed Strategic Aspirations sharpen our ‘future focus’ and help us conceptualise where we want to go and how we get there.
Supporting this, is an ongoing effort to harness strategic alliances and partnerships, which speed up development, reduce costs, reduce risk,
and effect transformative change much faster than average.
Over the past eight years we have defined our own way of working, which we call The OZWay.
The OZWay explains how all the parts of OZ Minerals fit together and every part is designed to help us make value accretive decisions
and deliver on our Strategic Aspirations.
It is more than a graphic, as it encapsulates a purpose-driven organisation that at our core, helps people be the best they can be and creates
value for all our six stakeholder groups as we strive to achieve our purpose of ‘Going beyond what’s possible to make lives better’.

stakeholders. While they may not always be
achieved and may be dependent on matters
outside our control, we have found that
aiming high helps us achieve beyond what
most would think possible.

Prominent Hill underground mine
Antakirinja Country, Gawler Craton, South Australia
Prominent Hill is an underground copper, gold and silver mine
located 650km north-west of Adelaide in the Gawler Craton in
South Australia which commenced production in 2009. The asset
was first developed as an open pit mining operation, mining
first ore in October 2007 and shipping its first concentrate in
April 2009.
2022 Highlights
Construction of the Wira Shaft is underway, and this brownfield expansion will extend
Prominent Hill’s life of mine to 2038. As part of project optimisation works done in 2022,
this electric hoisting shaft’s capacity was increased from 6Mtpa to 6.5Mtpa. The increased
capacity will provide us with optionality to increase Prominent Hill’s annual production rates.
The shaft headframe is planned for installation in the first half of 2023.
The Wira Shaft will enable the electrification of the ore haulage system and is one of the
ways Prominent Hill will achieve the decarbonisation commitments set out in OZ Minerals’
Decarbonisation Roadmap. Read more about our Decarbonisation Roadmap in the
Sustainability Section of this Report.
In 2022,
55,547 TONNES
of copper and
124,843 OUNCES
of gold were produced,
at a C1 cost of 129.1 USc/lb
and All-in Sustaining Cost
of 204.0 USc/lb
Mineral Resource:
180Mt at 0.9% copper and
0.8g/t gold1
Ore Reserve:

CASE STUDY
UPPER SPENCER GULF COMPETITIVE CAPABILITY PROGRAM
COVID-19 significantly impacted regional businesses and
highlighted the criticality of online engagement in minimising
disruption to their pipelines of work.
Rather than providing short-term, financial crisis assistance,
Global Maintenance Upper Spencer Gulf (GMUSG) and
OZ Minerals partnered to deliver the Competitive Capability
Program (CCP).
The CCP is a cross-sector, region-wide, capacity-building
program that delivered hands-on business development
assistance to 50 businesses across the Upper Spencer Gulf,
resulting in direct economic benefits for participating businesses.
It created new capabilities and strengthened networks in
regional communities and, given its success, was extended for
an additional 12 months into 2022.

1. Please refer to the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves section (page 69) for full disclosure.
Carrapateena is an underground copper, gold and silver mine
and is located approximately 250km south-east of Prominent
Hill and 160km north of Port Augusta. Underground mining at
Carrapateena is by sub-level caving with the operation producing
first concentrate in December 2019.
In 2022,
57,139 TONNES
of copper and
77,630 OUNCES
of gold were produced
and a CI cost performance
of 117.4 USc/lb and All-in

158.1 USc/lb
was achieved

and 0.24g/t gold1

CASE STUDY
Two fast charge electric vehicles
have been developed in partnership
with ZERO Automotive for use
throughout 2022. Both vehicles
are now in use on site and a third
is expected to arrive in early 2023.
In addition to this, an order for the
first component of battery electric
mining fleet, a Normet charge unit,
has been placed.
2022 Highlights
At the end of the year, the Carrapateena cave safely propagated to surface, an important
de‑risking event for the mine.
Progress was also made on Carrapateena’s transition from a Sub-Level Cave to a Block Cave.
Converting the bottom half of the Sub-Level Cave to a Block Cave will unlock Carrapateena’s
potential to be a multigenerational, low quartile cash cost producing province. The base case
is for Carrapateena to reach a production rate of 12Mtpa from 2028. Block Cave 1 will almost
double current average production to ~110‑120ktpa of copper and 110-120koz of gold.

West Musgrave Project
Ngaanyatjarra Country, Musgrave, Western Australia
The West Musgrave Project is a greenfield copper and nickel project located in the West Musgrave
Ranges of Western Australia, approximately 1,300km northeast of Perth and 1,400km north‑west
of Adelaide, near the intersection of the borders of Western Australia, South Australia and the
Northern Territory. Construction commenced in the December 2022 quarter, and the Project is
currently targeting first concentrate in the second half of 2025. Annual production is anticipated
to be approximately 28ktpa of contained nickel and 35ktpa of contained copper over 24 years.
2022 Highlights
Construction of our fourth mine, West Musgrave, is now underway
following a positive Final Investment Decision on the $1.7 billion
Project in September 2022.
The Feasibility Study released at the same time, identified value uplift
opportunities which have been embedded in the Project’s design,
project delivery and operations.
Life of Province opportunities at the West Musgrave Province are
being explored, to understand optionality within the region, including
the potential construction of a downstream nickel processing plant
for Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) and near mine expansion for
the Succoth copper deposit and other exploration targets.
The MHP study demonstrated the technical and commercial
opportunity of producing a high quality and high grade MHP product
for feed into the battery industry.
Multiple fertile nickel-copper systems have also been identified within
20km of the West Musgrave mine infrastructure, stretching over a total
extent of approximately 40km.
In line with our aspiration to use partnerships or alternative ownership
structures that create mutual value across all aspects of our work, we
started exploring the potential for a minority selldown of the project
through a strategic alliance. This generated significant interest but is on
hold due to the proposed BHP transaction.
Kalkaroo is a study stage copper project in
South Australia, currently owned 100% by Havilah
Resources Limited. Havilah Resources Limited
published a Pre Feasibility Study for the project
in 2019, featuring a Mineral Resource estimate
of 245Mt @ 0.45% Cu and 0.41g/t Au and Ore
Reserve of 100Mt @ 0.47% Cu and 0.44g/t Au.
2022 Highlights
In 2022, we executed binding agreements with Havilah Resources
that provides an option to acquire the Kalkaroo Project following a
study period, and a strategic alliance over the Curnamona Province in
South Australia focused on new exploration prospects.
During the study period, we focussed on opportunities to
identify additional value by assessing a range of Modern Mining
opportunities, innovation, processing improvements and local
infrastructure that reduce project costs and improve productivity.
CASE STUDY
The Think & Act Differently (TAD) team, powered by
OZ Minerals is using innovative approaches to understand
more about the Kalkaroo orebody. This includes the use of
X-ray technology to digitalise drill core and leveraging the
global crowd to build an algorithm.
The Orexplore Technologies team, specialising in X-ray scanning
for drill core, scanned some of the existing Kalkaroo core in order
to digitalise it to accelerate and strengthen the development of
our resource models.
With this information, TAD will simulate different scenarios
to mine and process critical mineral orebodies.
Collaboration is key to our shared success, and we want to
work with the best minds to design modern mines.

1. Please refer to the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves section (page 69) for full disclosure.
The Carajás Province in Northern Brazil hosts a significant number
of undeveloped copper-gold deposits. We are pursuing a staged,
low risk and modest-capital hub approach in the Carajás, where
each hub would process ore from several nearby satellite mines.
We achieved a significant milestone with the commencement
of underground mining at Pedra Branca in 2021, the first of the
intended satellite mines. The asset comprises an underground
copper and gold mine which ramped-up to full production during
the June quarter 2022.
2022 Highlights
CARAJÁS EAST
Despite having experienced the highest rainfall in the region early in 2022, our Carajás East Hub
advanced well during the year.
Pedra Branca delivered strong operational performance with multiple stopes now consistently
in production, as the capability of our underground operators grows and with ongoing plant
optimisation work.
An accelerated program was undertaken to progress the Pre-Feasibility Study for Santa Lúcia.
Follow-up drilling during year at the Grota Rica and Tapuia exploration targets, after initial
encouraging results in 2021, helped us understand further satellite opportunities.
CARAJÁS WEST
The Carajás West region has historically been underexplored. In 2022, we completed
an additional drilling programme which, combined with earlier drilling, informed a
comprehensive update of the estimated Mineral Resource for the Pantera deposit.
In the Carajás East province in
2022, 11,378 tonnes of copper
and 8,674 ounces of gold
were produced at a C1 cost of
197.1 USc/lb and with an All-in
Sustaining Cost of 279.5 USc/lb.

Gurupi Province
CentroGold Project
Combined ‘Blanket’ &
‘Contact’ Mineral Resource;

The Gurupi Province is located in the state of Maranhão, Brazil
and contains the CentroGold Project, a proposed open pit gold
mining operation, comprising two deposits – Blanket and Contact.
Additionally, once developed, CentroGold would be well placed to
service nearby deposits such as Chega Tudo and Mandiocal, should
they prove viable.
We are intending to commence a Feasibility Study for the
CentroGold Project once a historical court injunction, in existence
when we acquired Avanco Resources Limited, is removed.
2022 Highlights
We have since undergone an extensive negotiation and agreement process enabling final
negotiations on a Land Use Agreement to be progressed and the project to be developed
once the injunction is lifted (the timing of which cannot be guaranteed).
In December 2022, the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform approved the
land use concession agreement required for progressing the court injunction removal.

Exploration
Our exploration portfolio consists of brownfield and greenfield exploration across locations in
Australia, Brazil and Sweden. Our greenfield exploration activities are generally complemented
by alliances (e.g. exploration earn-in agreements) and select direct investments in explorers.
2022 Highlights
Significant mineralisation was intersected in Brazil in the Carajás
East region, at Grota Rica, Valdomiro and Tapuia supporting the
Carajás East hub.
We moved to the earn-in stage at the Painirova and Lannavaara
projects in northern Sweden based on results from diamond
drillholes completed in the last winter drill season consistent with
potential for mineralised copper-gold systems of size and grade
of interest to OZ Minerals. Three further projects, Rockliden,
Sadjem‑Dokkas and Skellefte are progressing through minimum
commitment phases.
Drilling commenced at the Woollogorang project in the Northern
Territory and the Benmara Project, located in the Barkly Tablelands
region of the Northern Territory, was added to our exploration
portfolio with a joint venture targeting sediment-hosted base metal
deposits with prospectivity for copper and cobalt.
Finally, we withdrew from The Three Ways project with Red Metal
Ltd in Queensland. We are also in the process of withdrawing from
the Paraiso project in Peru.

On 22 December 2022, OZ Minerals entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with BHP Lonsdale Investments Pty Ltd ('BHP'), a wholly
owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, in relation to the proposed acquisition by BHP of all of the issued shares in OZ Minerals by way
of scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('Scheme'). The Scheme Implementation Deed permits, subject to certain
conditions, OZ Minerals to declare and pay OZ Minerals shareholders a special dividend prior to implementation of the Scheme.
Prior to the Scheme meeting (which is currently expected to be held in mid-April 2023), the Board intends to declare a fully franked special
dividend of $1.75 per share, such dividend conditional on the Scheme becoming effective. If the Scheme does become effective the special
dividend will be paid on the date the Scheme is implemented to OZ Minerals shareholders who hold OZ Minerals shares on the special dividend
record date. The special dividend record date will be three days before the Scheme record date, with both record dates currently expected to be
in late-April 2023.
Assuming the special dividend of $1.75 per share is paid, the consideration payable by BHP under the Scheme will be reduced by this amount.
OZ Minerals shareholders who hold shares on both the special dividend record date and the Scheme record date will receive total consideration
of $28.25 per share on the date the Scheme is implemented, with $1.75 being a fully franked special dividend paid by OZ Minerals and $26.50
being Scheme Consideration paid by BHP.
As stated above, if the Scheme does not become effective the special dividend will not be paid. In that case, the Board will continue to consider
the payment of dividends against its current policy of paying sustainable dividends from pre-growth cash flow, after taking into consideration the
Company’s near term identified capital investment opportunities and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Officers
The Executive Leadership Team and Company Secretaries of OZ Minerals Limited in office at any time during the 2022 financial year and their
qualifications and experience are set out under the governance statement on pages 19 to 21.
Environmental regulation
OZ Minerals and its activities in Australia, Brazil and other international locations are subject to strict environmental regulations. OZ Minerals’
operations, development, exploration and concentrate shipping activities operate under various licences and permits under state, federal and
territory laws in Australia, Brazil and other overseas jurisdictions.
OZ Minerals regularly monitors its compliance with licenses and permits in various ways, including through its own environmental audits as
well as those conducted by regulatory authorities and other third parties. OZ Minerals uses a documented process to classify and report any
exceedance of a licence or permit condition as well as any incident reportable to the relevant authorities.
All instances of reportable environmental non-compliance and significant incidents are reviewed by the Executive Leadership Team and the
Sustainability Committee of the Board as a part of this process. A formal report is also prepared to identify the factors that contributed to the
incident or non-compliance and the actions taken to prevent any reoccurrence.
During the year, OZ Minerals submitted its energy and emissions report to the Clean Energy Regulator in accordance with the National
Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act). KPMG provided reasonable assurance over OZ Minerals’ energy and emissions report.
KPMG has also provided limited assurance over selected metrics and disclosures made in this document and on the OZ Minerals website with
reference to the Global Reporting Initiative Standard. KPMG’s assurance report is available on pages 67 to 68.
The Company has not incurred any significant liabilities under any environmental legislation during the financial year.
Insurance and indemnity
During the financial year, OZ Minerals paid premiums with respect to a contract insuring Directors and Officers of the Company and its related
bodies corporate against certain liabilities incurred while acting in that capacity. The insurance contract prohibits disclosure of the liability’s nature
and the amount of the insurance premium.
The Company’s Constitution also requires OZ Minerals to provide a full indemnity, to the extent permitted by law, to Officers of the Company or
its related bodies corporate in relation to all losses, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses incurred by an Officer when acting in that capacity on
behalf of the Company or a related body corporate.
The Consolidated Entity has granted indemnities under deeds of indemnity with current and former Executive and Non-executive Directors,
current and former Officers, the former General Counsel (Special Projects), the former Group Treasurers and each employee who was a
Director or Officer of a controlled entity of the Consolidated Entity, or an associate of the Consolidated Entity, to conform with Rule 10.2 of
the Constitution.
Each deed of indemnity indemnifies the relevant Director, Officer or employee to the fullest extent permitted by law for liabilities incurred while
acting as an Officer of OZ Minerals, its related bodies corporate and any associated entity, where such an office is or was held at the request of
the Company. The Consolidated Entity has a policy that it will, as a general rule, support and hold harmless an employee who, while acting in
good faith, incurs personal liability to others as a result of working for the Consolidated Entity.
During the year and as at the date of this Directors’ report, no indemnity in favour of a current or former Director or Officer of the Group, or any
auditor of the Consolidated Entity in their capacity as auditor of the Consolidated Entity, has been called on.
Proceedings on behalf of OZ Minerals Limited
At the date of this Report there are no leave applications or proceedings brought in respect of or on behalf of OZ Minerals Limited under section
237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Audit and non-audit services
KPMG continues in office as OZ Minerals' external auditor in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. A copy of the lead auditor’s
independence declaration is set out on page 74 as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 and this forms part of the
Directors’ Report.
OZ Minerals, with the approval of the Audit Committee, may decide to employ the external auditor on assignments additional to their statutory
audit duties where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Consolidated Entity are important and where these services do not impair the
external auditor’s independence.

Following the Audit Committee’s consideration of KPMG providing non-audit services and its subsequent recommendation to the Board, the
Board is satisfied that provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by
the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied that the non-audit services provided by the auditor did not compromise the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 because:
›
all non-audit services were reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they did not impact the integrity and objectivity of the external
auditor; and
›
none of the services undermined the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants. These include reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or a decision-making capacity
for OZ Minerals or its controlled entities, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risk and rewards.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

OZ Minerals is a modern mining company
based in South Australia and is listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange. Our strategy is
to produce modern minerals from a portfolio
of long life, low cost mines located in
safe and stable countries. We are a growth
company and we seek to create value for
all our stakeholders: workforce, shareholders,
communities, governments, customers and
suppliers. We believe that only when we create
value for all our stakeholders will we be successful
and sustainable.
Review of financial results
FINANCIAL REVIEW
OZ Minerals’ Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) for the year was
$207.3 million compared to $530.7 million for 2021. Net Revenue
was lower due to lower realised AUD copper prices, and lower
production attributable to a number of one-off events in the first
half of the year including adverse weather, materials handling system
disruptions at Carrapateena, and COVID related absenteeism. With
a large proportion of operating costs fixed in nature, the impacts to
first half production together with inflationary pressures and supply
chain disruptions resulted in unfavourable unit cost performance. The
second half demonstrated a much improved production performance
through programs implemented to address the disrupted first
half, with progressively decreasing COVID absenteeism, a more
continuous material flow and increased equipment availability leading
to less constrained processing at Carrapateena, and Prominent Hill’s
underground operations providing higher copper grades and elevating
plant performance.
Despite the impact to production and costs, the Company’s
operating margin for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and
amortisation (EBITDA) was 36 per cent, reflecting the maintenance
of a strong operating performance despite the challenging operating
environment in the first half.
Whilst the US dollar copper price remained elevated for most of the
year, market influences saw it decline late in the second quarter driven
by concern over the risk of recession due to inflationary pressures.
The gold price weakened during the first half with rising interest
rates and a stronger USD, but high inflation and ongoing geopolitical
risks increased prices in the fourth quarter. With commodity prices
denominated in USD, the weaker AUD resulted in a marginally lower
impact on net revenue.
During the year, a significant number of construction and expansion
activities were undertaken at all our operations as we implement
our growth strategy, resulting in an increase to our Property, plant
and equipment balances. The West Musgrave study progressed
during the year with a positive final investment decision taken in
September. Construction of Prominent Hill’s Wira Shaft expansion
and Carrapateena’s Block Cave expansion continued to progress, with
capital development and other related activities advancing throughout
the year.
The Company ended the year with a net debt position of
$253.9 million (cash $136.7 million and debt of $390.6 million)
after investment in growth projects and income tax payments. In
May 2022, the corporate revolving credit facility was renewed for
a further five-year period on favourable terms and was increased
from $483.0 million to $700.0 million, providing an increased liquidity
buffer and further funding flexibility to enable working capital liquidity
management against revenue flows whilst we invest in our major
brownfield expansion projects at Carrapateena and Prominent Hill.
In October 2022 we entered into a new $1.2 billion, 18-month
syndicated term loan facility with a number of our relationship banks
to support the development of the West Musgrave Project. We made
cash tax payments of $68.4 million and also paid dividends amounting
to $78.6 million (net of the DRP) to shareholders.

REVENUE
Gross revenue for the year (before treatment charges and refining
costs) was $1,977.1 million, $198.4 million lower than the
comparative period before gold hedging, mainly due to a reduced
sales volume and weaker copper prices. Contained copper in
concentrate sold was ~2 per cent (2,900 tonnes) lower while gold
sold was lower by ~16 per cent (40,200 ounces). The lower gold
sales were mainly the result of the depletion of high grade gold
ore stockpiles at Prominent Hill in the prior year. The realised copper
price in Australian dollars was ~7 per cent lower compared to the
previous period, with gold ~7 per cent higher. A hedging loss on
the high-grade gold stockpiles of $34.0 million was recognised within
gross revenue in the prior period.
REALISATION COSTS
Treatment charges and refining costs (TCRCs) were $10.7 million
higher due to lower copper concentrate grades combined with
increased copper treatment and refining charges. Royalty expense
decreased by $18.3 million, reflective of the reduced revenue.
PRODUCTION COSTS
Total production costs of concentrate sold were $176.4 million
higher than the comparative period. The increase reflects the
challenging operating environment with the one-off disruptions in
the first half, inflationary pressures felt industry wide, and additional
labour and equipment requirements for production optimisation.
An extreme weather event during the first quarter and isolated
conveyor belt failures at Carrapateena led to an increase in mining
costs with repairs to the materials handling system (including the
mobilisation of additional underground fleet to truck material to
surface), and repairs to the Western Access Road. The impact of the
downtime was partially offset by reduced power usage and running
costs, together with opportune maintenance scheduling. Operating
assets experienced COVID related disruptions and absenteeism
requiring additional support from contractors, increased labour and
equipment requirements for production optimisation, and industry
wide inflationary pressures, including uplifts in hourly rates for both
operator and maintenance crews as pressure amplified from the
interstate market and turnover rates, and increases to diesel and
utilities prices. A larger proportion of mining activity was attributed
to production related activities at Carrapateena, resulting in a higher
proportion of common costs expensed over capitalised development.
The prior year result also included a $18.0 million benefit on restating
ore stockpile values. At the Carajás East Hub, production costs were
impacted by initial set-up costs for the Antas pit tailings deposition
and improvements to the Pedra Branca logistics structure, together
with general increases in insurance premiums and inflation.
EXPLORATION AND CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
Exploration and corporate development expenditure of $143.3 million
was incurred during the year net of $6.1 million received as part
of the consideration for the Jericho/Eloise Joint Venture divestment.
This was $87.0 million higher than the comparative period mainly
due to payments relating to the Carajás Hub, the ramping up of
activity following an easing of COVID related access restrictions to
some tenements, and Kalkaroo spend of $6.9 million following the
Havilah Resources transaction. Items of expenditure relating to the
Carajás Hub included:
›
Production based contingent payment for the Pedra Branca mine
$14.5 million
›
Acquisition costs for the Pantera project $20.3 million
›
Tenement holdings review $16.4 million
›
General exploration and development expenditure $25.6 million.
TAX, INTEREST AND OTHER
Income tax expense of $102.9 million was $123.0 million lower than
the comparative period mainly due to a reduced profit position.
The net financing expense of $35.4 million marginally decreased by
$3.7 million with the capitalisation of $9.8 million of borrowing costs
related to growth projects with increased utilisation of the corporate
revolving credit facility over the period. Other expenses and income
increased by $29.9 million over the comparative period due to lower
foreign exchange gains than the prior year of $12.2 million, an
increase in corporate general and administration costs of $16.7 million
mainly due to the general market increase in insurance premiums and
costs related to the proposed BHP acquisition, and lower other income
of $1.0 million.

OPERATING CASH FLOWS
Operating cash flows of $647.6 million for the year were
$323.4 million lower than in the comparative period.
Customer receipts during the year were lower by $135.9 million
in line with lower revenues and timing of receivables. Payments to
suppliers and employees were higher, reflective of a full period of
ramped up operations at Carrapateena and the Carajás, the impact of
inflationary pressures, one-off production events in the first half of the
year and the focus on production optimisation. Higher freight costs
also contributed to the increase in payments.
Payments for exploration and corporate development increased by
$46.6 million, reflecting payments made in relation to the Carajás Hub
and increased exploration activity during the year.
Progressive tax payments were lower than the comparative period
with lower tax expense for the current year, and the application of a
deduction under the temporary full expensing provisions announced
in the 2021 Federal Budget, in so far as it applies to certain assets.
Financing costs included in operating cashflow decreased marginally
during the year by $3.3 million, mainly due to capitalisation of
$9.8 million of borrowing costs related to growth projects with
increased utilisation of the corporate revolving credit facility over
the period, and a reduction in lease finance charges on powerline
infrastructure, offset by new service contracts accounted for as right
of use assets.
INVESTING CASH FLOWS
Net investing cash flows of $951.0 million were attributable to
investments in our brownfield expansion projects at Carrapateena and
Prominent Hill, mine development and sustaining capital expenditure
at all our operations, and investment at West Musgrave. Payments
incurred included:
›
Carrapateena Plant and Equipment, and mine development costs
$358.3 million
›
Prominent Hill development $235.5 million
›
West Musgrave costs $165.8 million
›
Sustaining capital expenditure $114.7 million
›
Carajás East capital expenditure $29.8 million
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash inflows relating to financing activities were $224.5 million,
comprising $375.0 million utilisation of the company’s corporate
revolving credit facility and $15.6 million utilisation of the West
Musgrave syndicated term loan facility; partly offset by $78.6 million
dividend (net of the DRP) paid to shareholders; and $87.5 million in
lease principal repayments.

Balance sheet
The total equity of the Group increased by $182.9 million to
$3,912.6 million. The increase was mainly the result of the net profit
performance for the year of $207.3 million, an increase in foreign
currency translation reserve due to the weaker AUD of $30.7 million,
share based payments of $25.8 million; partially offset by dividend
payments of $78.6 million (net of DRP).
The Company ended the year with a net debt position of
$253.9 million (cash of $136.7 million and borrowings of
$390.6 million) after investment in brownfield and greenfield growth
projects, net of $375.0 million drawdown on its corporate revolving
credit facility, and $15.6 million drawdown on its West Musgrave
syndicated term loan facility. The Group revolving credit facility
was extended in May 2022 for a further five years, increasing by
$217.0 million to $700.0 million, and in October 2022 the Group
entered into a new $1.2 billion, 18-month syndicated term loan
facility to support the development of the West Musgrave Project.
During the year, net operating cashflows were invested in ongoing
growth projects at Carrapateena, Prominent Hill and West Musgrave;
investment in Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E); tax payments;
and dividend payments to shareholders. The West Musgrave asset
was reclassified from an exploration asset to a development asset
triggered by a final investment decision in September. The Group
had a $56.6 million tax receivable balance following finalisation
of its December 2021 income tax liability and an assessment of
its eligibility for a deduction under the temporary full expensing
provisions announced in the 2021 Federal Budget, in so far as it
applies to certain assets.
Inventories at 31 December 2022 were $359.1 million, a reduction
from the comparative period as stockpiled open pit material continues
to supplement Prominent Hill's underground production. Trade
Receivables increased because of timing of shipments.
PP&E and Exploration assets increased during the year due to
capital expenditure at Carrapateena, continuing capitalisation of
underground development at Prominent Hill, capitalised West
Musgrave costs, and general sustaining capital expenditure.
Additional right-of-use (ROU) lease assets and liabilities were
recognised during the year associated with the recognition of a lease
in relation to aviation services for a five year period, ending in 2027.

The Company recognises that timely identification
and management of opportunities and threats
are fundamental to sound management and
superior outcomes for our stakeholder groups.
OZ Minerals’ operating performance, financial
results, and Strategy delivery are subject to a
wide range of risks.
These risks comprise political, environmental, social, market,
economic, strategic, and operational factors which create both
threats and opportunities for the Company. Proactively minimising
threats and maximising opportunities allows us to manage both
sides of risk.
The Company manages existing, new and emerging risks as an
integrated part of our operating environment to minimise adverse
impacts and optmise beneficial outcomes. Through our Risk
Management Framework, emphasis is placed on risk-aware decision-
making to deliver our Strategy, and contribute to the achievement
of value creation for our six stakeholder groups and our Purpose of
Going beyond what’s possible to make lives better.
Risk management accountability and oversight is a central part of our
OZWay Governance Framework. The Board, its Committees and the
Executive Leadership Team oversee risk management. Collectively,
they are responsible for ensuring the Company maintains an effective
risk management and internal control environment, with risks
assessed according to the potential impact on each stakeholder.
Risk management oversight and governance
The Board sets the Company’s risk appetite and oversees the management framework and effectiveness of the systems of internal
control and risk management. The Board reviews the Risk Framework and appetite to ensure it remains adequate to identify and
manage threats and opportunities.
It also reviews and monitors the Material Risks of the Company. Reporting of Material Risks to the Board includes an overview of
Company risks, a summary of key changes to the risk profile, critical control updates, and the actions implemented to reduce the
level of uncertainty and improve the manageability of risks. The Board requires the CEO and Executive Leadership to implement a
system of controls for identifying, assessing, managing, and reporting risks in line with the Risk Management Framework.
BOARD
MANAGEMENT
The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is responsible for the effective implementation of the Risk Management Framework and
system of control for identifying, assessing, managing, and reporting risk across the Company. The ELT reviews, and the CEO
approves, the risk profile for the organisation and ensures Assets and Corporate Functions embed risk management process,
practice, and culture into everyday business systems and activities.
CORPORATE RISK FUNCTION
The Corporate Risk Function supports and champions the implementation of the Risk Management Framework, ensures risk
management is embedded into core business processes, and builds risk management capability and a risk-aware culture across the

Our risk approach and culture
The Company uses risk management to plan and prioritise our work
and support key decision making in line with our Risk Management
Framework at all levels. The Framework enables us to focus
on informed risk-based work activities that create value for all
stakeholders, eliminate non-value adding tasks and allow fast and
calculated decisions to be made at the right level in line with our
risk appetite.
In 2022, we initiated a Risk Evolution Project to drive further risk
maturity across the business. The Project takes a ‘whole-of-system’
approach to protect and enhance value to support growth and
performance. The Project is focused on improving risk maturity
across the board with further development of risk artefacts,
processes and outcomes.
Management is continuing to mature the Company’s approach to
risk, focussed on developing and owning a top-down (Context)
and bottom-up (Performance) risk system. Under this system, all
Performance risks are assessed as risks to the base case reflected in
our annual Business Plan. A review of Context Risks and draft controls
formed a core component of the Board Strategy sessions in 2022.
Material risks
Management undertakes a regular review of the Company’s risks
and refer outcomes to the Board. Material risks are subsequently
managed in the context of supporting the successful delivery of
OZ Minerals' Strategy and Business Plan.

a barrier for organisations. This is due to shorter lifecycles, lower
deployment costs and reduction in Intellectual Property constraints,
and has resulted in a shift in how technology can be applied by
organisations to enhance not only what they do, but how they do it.
For OZ Minerals, taking advantage of the pace of technological
change has the potential to enable us to:
› operate and adapt faster
› create greater value faster for our stakeholders
› build a culture and workforce that is adaptive, innovative and able
to continually use emerging technology to improve what we do
and how we work.
Technology provides us with an advantage in the short-term,
if improvements are easily replicated, and a longer-term advantage
if we are able to disrupt the industry via technological application.
Technology has also enabled a proactive response to the accelerated
focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) themes and is
recognised as a critical enabler to accelerate our Strategic Aspirations
of being a data-driven Modern Mining Company that ethically and
responsibly mines copper and other minerals that contribute to a low
carbon future.
Our technology focus and innovative approach include health and
safety, decarbonisation and electrification, process and decision
intelligence, automation and ways of working. Our unique innovation
approach is aimed at attracting the best expertise inside and outside
the industry sector to find new and efficient ways to solve complex
challenges while maximising value creation. However, there can be no
assurance that OZ Minerals will be able to continue to attract or retain
capable staff to drive innovation.

CYBER SECURITY
The impact of cyber security incidents on privacy in Australia has
been widely publicised through incidents involving large corporate
organisations. The exposure of personal data leads to malicious
activities such as extortion, targeted phishing and identity theft.
The increasing rate of technology advancement and dependency
on it, as well as greater accessibility, has resulted in a greater actual
and potential negative impacts on organisations and individuals.
The growing volume and sophistication of cyber threats, both locally
and globally, is increasing the likelihood of compromised data.
The regulatory landscape continues to evolve, placing further
obligations on organisations. More control is also being given to
individuals and increasing the penalty regime for organisations who
experience security breaches.
We recognise that our increasing use of data and digital technology
is an immediate threat that can result in potential safety, reputation
and financial harm when things go wrong, either due to malicious
intent or by accident. We continually monitor for cyber threats and
have various data loss prevention controls to safeguard data. We
have also taken significant steps in investment to elevate our control
strategies for the prevention, detection, response and recovery of
our digital assets.
STAKEHOLDER AND SOCIETAL EXPECTATIONS
There are increasing expectations around the quality and method
of production for both final products and the components along
their full value chain.
Furthermore, society now expects companies to deliver financial
returns and to have net positive impacts on the environment and
society more broadly.
OZ Minerals and our contracting parties’ performance may directly,
indirectly or cumulatively adversely impact the social, economic and
cultural values of stakeholders and communities. This can affect
access to land and resources, delay approvals and ultimately impact
the delivery of our Strategy.
Our success depends on how we partner with stakeholders
to co‑develop specific and fit-for-purpose processes based on
transparent, fair and informed consent that drives value creation
for the businesses and the community.
At OZ Minerals, we have begun embedding a higher purpose and
our unique value creation approach in our governance framework,
resulting in an opportunity to create greater value and perform above
expectations of stakeholders.
CLIMATE CHANGE
The physical and non-physical impacts of climate change may affect
OZ Minerals’ Assets, our productivity, the markets in which we
sell our products, and the communities in which we operate. Risks
related to the physical impacts of climate change include acute risks
resulting from increased severity of extreme weather events and
chronic risks resulting from longer-term changes in climate patterns.
Non-physical risks arise from a variety of policy, regulatory, legal,
technology, financial and market responses to the challenges posed
by climate change and the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Any changes to government regulation or policy relating to climate
change, including changes relating to greenhouse gas emissions or
energy intensive assets, may directly or indirectly impact costs and
operational efficiency.
Climate change and emissions reductions have continued to increase
in materiality across the sector, creating a range of opportunities and
threats. The impacts of climate change and emissions reductions have
been integrated into our Strategic Aspirations, one of which is to
produce products that are high purity, support a decarbonising world,
have a zero carbon footprint and are traceable from mine to end user.
We continue to work closely with key stakeholders on issues relating
to climate change and emissions reductions.
OZ Minerals is exposed to some climate related risks within our assets,
such as a risk to delivery of plans, including against OZ Minerals’
stakeholder value creation metrics. The physical impacts of climate
change continue to manifest rapidly in the form of extreme weather
events such as increasing temperatures, increasing rainfall and
flooding. The occurrence of such events could have an adverse effect
on the operations of the OZ Minerals business.
Decarbonisation represents a strategic opportunity for OZ Minerals.
We produce copper and nickel, minerals critical for a decarbonising
world. The opportunity is to responsibly produce these commodities.
We are actively working on reducing our carbon footprint and
published our Decarbonisation Roadmap in February 2022 which sets
out a pathway to a 50 per cent reduction in emissions by 2027 and
to achieve net zero1 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030.
WORKFORCE SUPPLY
Macroeconomic conditions caused by COVID-19 have forced a new
and accelerated approach to workforce management. There are more
open roles in major developed economies than there are people
looking for work, providing leverage for the workforce for the first
time in many decades. This leverage is enabling the workforce to
exercise choices in a number of areas.
Workers are reporting a strong desire to retain control over their
personal life that flexible hours and remote working during the
pandemic has given them. They are also more driven towards looking
for purposeful work in a company that cares with a culture they can
thrive in.
Labour supply tensions have resulted in significant workforce
movement in lower paying roles, where there has traditionally been
stagnant real wage growth.
1. Our approach requires all technically and economically feasible emissions reduction options to be exhausted prior to the application of certificates, in the form of offsets and/or
renewable energy certificates.

In addition, some of the employees at OZ Minerals’ Assets are
represented by labour unions under various collective labour
agreements. OZ Minerals (or its relevant joint venture partners) may
not be able to satisfactorily renegotiate collective labour agreements
when they expire and may face higher wages and changes in
benefits. In addition, existing labour agreements may not prevent
strikes or work stoppages in the future, and any strike or other
work stoppage could have an adverse effect on the operations and
financial results of OZ Minerals.
A lack of cross-border workers has been exacerbated by higher
turnover and a net loss of industry knowledge requiring the industry
to pivot to distributed responsibility and leadership across almost
all roles while positioning it as an attractive sector for the next
generation of workers. Societal risks and mental health are similar
factors. Attracting top talent for the future will require further focus
on a diverse, inclusive and continuous improvement culture. In
response, we have adapted our operating model to manage activities
in a more agile way, increasing flexibility and evolving application
of our Fly-In-Fly-Out labour pool.
OZ Minerals has many of the foundational elements in place to be a
powerful talent attractor due to an existing focus on creating value
for stakeholders, including our workforce. Responding to the needs
of the workforce also provides an opportunity for us to challenge
existing ways of working for the better.
COMMODITY MARKET CYCLE
Commodity markets are influenced by a broad range of
macroeconomic conditions that can influence trade flows, supply,
demand and price. Commodity market cycles can have significant
negative impacts on organisations but can also provide material
opportunities during peaks, troughs and mid-curve with the cycle.
An increase in demand for zero emissions energy is expected
to increase the demand for copper and nickel. The long-term
commodity price outlooks under the Paris-Agreement goals
continue to reflect copper and nickel benefiting from the rapid pace
of electrification, which has been accelerated under the current
government policy.
However, threat exposure may increase due to a rise in inflation,
shortage of critical labour skills and global supply chain costs due
to the operating environment and geopolitical tensions.
OZ Minerals ensures a resilient, adaptive and high performing business
to provide an opportunity to make use of commodity cycles with
the potential to diversify into other strong performing minerals while
optimising the risk/return trade-off.
INFLATION, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUPPLY CHAIN
Long term structural trends combined with an increasing rate of
change has resulted in increased costs globally. As a result of global
events, short term inflationary cycles are being felt across industries
with ties to COVID-19 and the Ukraine/Russia war.
In the short term, OZ Minerals has been impacted by labour shortages
and increased absenteeism as a result of COVID-19. Input costs have
been impacted by a range of supply chain factors over the year.
In the long term, this will be offset by our ability to outperform peers via
relatively higher productivity achieved through the successful application
of new technology and leveraging The OZWay.
GEOPOLITICAL INSTABILITY
A combination of global and regional geopolitical tensions combined
with COVID-19 related supply constraints have the potential to
impact the industry. Threats of trade wars between global leaders,
the rise of global movements protesting matters from racial injustice
to climate change to COVID-19 restrictions means the current global
political environment remains dynamic and fraught with contentious
issues. Emerging impacts across the mining sector include cost
inflation and availability of critical labour skills and equipment.
OZ Mineral’s operations could be adversely affected by government
actions, political instability or trade restrictions involving countries
in which it has operational exposures (such as Brazil), investment
or exploration interests, or into which it makes sales (in particular,
countries in Asia). These circumstances include, but are not limited to,
the introduction of, amendment to or changes in the interpretation
of legislation, guidelines and regulations in relation to mining and
resources exploration and production, industrial materials processing,
taxation, the environment, carbon emissions, competition policy,
export duties, and import duties, tariffs, quotas, bans or restrictions,
as well as an inability to ensure the security of our assets and people.
Such actions could impact land access, the granting of licences
and permits, the approval of project developments and ancillary
infrastructure requirements, the sale of products, the supply of
materials, and the cost of compliance. Any such government action
may require increased capital commitments in order to ensure
compliance or could delay or even prevent certain operation/activities
of OZ Minerals. Such actions could therefore have a material adverse
effect on OZ Minerals’ financial standing.
We continually review availability with our supply partners and
collectively identify controls to manage our exposure through initiatives
such as forward ordering and alternative supply options.
OPERATIONAL RISK
The ability of OZ Minerals to meet operating (including production
targets) and capital expenditure estimates has uncertainty. These
uncertainties are more pronounced over a longer period. OZ Minerals’
assets and mining operations are subject to uncertainty with respect
to, among other things, ore tonnes, grade, metallurgical recovery
and impurities, ground conditions, operational environment, funding
for development, availability of power supply, regulatory changes,
accidents, contractual risks and other unforeseen circumstances such
as unplanned mechanical failure of plant or equipment, cyclones,
storms, floods, bushfires or other natural disasters, or outbreaks,
continuations or escalations of disease (including pandemics).
Costs of production may be affected by a variety of factors,
including changing waste-to-ore ratios, geotechnical issues,
unforeseen difficulties associated with power supply, water supply
and infrastructure, ore grade, metallurgy, labour costs, changes
to applicable laws and regulations, general inflationary pressures
and currency exchange rates. OZ Minerals’ revenue could also be
adversely impacted by increased prices for diesel, reagents and other
supply chain factors, commodities, increased cost of labour, and
other input costs. These circumstances could result in OZ Minerals
not realising its operational or development plans, or in such
plans costing more than expected, or taking longer to realise than
expected. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on
OZ Minerals’ financial and operational performance.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
There are numerous occupational health and safety risks associated
with mining processes such as travel to and from remote operations,
the operation of heavy and complex machinery in challenging
geographic locations and exposure to hazardous substances. These
hazards may cause personal injury and/or loss of life to OZ Minerals
employees, contractors, suppliers, customers or other third parties,
damage to property and contamination of the environment, which
may result in the suspension of operations and the imposition of civil
or criminal penalties, including fines, expenses for remediation and
claims brought by governmental entities or third parties, as well as
reputational damage.
BALANCE SHEET, LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING
OZ Minerals’ continued ability to operate our business and effectively
implement our Business Plan over time will depend in part on our
ability to raise additional funds for future operations and to repay
or refinance debts as they fall due. At present, no assurance can be
given that any such additional financing will be available or that, if
available, it will be available on terms acceptable to OZ Minerals or
OZ Minerals’ Shareholders.
If additional funds are raised through the issue of equity securities,
the capital raising may be dilutive to OZ Minerals Shareholders (if
OZ Minerals determines that a pro-rata entitlement offer is not the
most appropriate method of equity fundraising or shareholders elect
not to participate in such entitlement offers) and such securities may,
subject to any requisite shareholder approval, have rights, preferences
or privileges senior to those currently holding OZ Minerals’ shares.
While OZ Minerals will be subject to the constraints of the Listing
Rules regarding the percentage of capital that it is able to issue within
a 12 month period without shareholder approval (other than where
exceptions apply), OZ Minerals’ Shareholders at the time may be
diluted as a result of such issues of OZ Minerals shares.
OZ Minerals has existing debt facilities. In the future, OZ Minerals may
need to renegotiate or refinance the terms of these debt facilities or
may seek further facilities or replacement facilities with alternative
financiers to satisfy our capital requirements. The terms on which
debt financiers are willing to offer finance may vary from time to
time depending on macro-economic conditions, the performance
of OZ Minerals and an assessment of the risks and intended use of
funds. Debt finance, if available on terms acceptable to OZ Minerals,
may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
If sufficient funds are not available from either debt or equity markets
to satisfy the OZ Minerals’ short, medium or long-term capital
requirements, when required, this may adversely impact OZ Minerals’
operations, financial performance and financial position.
CORPORATE AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines
and related facilities are subject to increased costs, and delays in
production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply
with applicable environment and planning laws, regulations and
permitting requirements. There can be no assurance that approvals
and permits required to commence construction, development or
operation of OZ Minerals’ exploration and development projects will
be obtained. Additional permits, studies and approvals will need
to be obtained or completed prior to operation of OZ Minerals’
exploration and development projects. These may include the
requirement for environmental impact studies to be conducted
before permits can be obtained.
There can be no assurance that OZ Minerals will be able to obtain
or maintain all necessary licences, approvals and permits that may
be required to commence construction, development or operation
of our projects promptly to avoid delays in production and other
schedules or on terms which enable operations to be conducted
at economically justifiable costs.
Company risk categories and material risks
The allocation of our Material Risks against the Company’s primary
risk categories is shown in the following table. In identifying our
Material Risks, we have considered the likelihood and potential
impact of the related events. Key changes to our inherent Material
Risks during the financial year, primarily due to the external
environment and ongoing global instability are presented within the
following table. Changes are determined based on the inherent risk
before the application of controls and response plans to reflect these
uncertainties. The Company applies strategic controls and actions to
prevent, reduce or mitigate downside risk events and increase the
likelihood of opportunities being realised.

Letter from the Chair of the People and Remuneration Committee
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to provide you with
the 2022 Remuneration Report for OZ Minerals.
2022 was a challenging year from an operational perspective with
adverse weather conditions, supply chain challenges and the effects
of over a half a year of COVID related absenteeism necessitating a
revision to production and cost guidance. However, the adaptability
of our culture and workforce enabled us to recalibrate performance
and deliver against revised guidance including record group quarterly
copper production in Q4 with Prominent Hill exceeding its original
copper guidance for an eighth consecutive year. Considerable
progress was also made on our growth strategy with the West
Musgrave copper nickel project approved and now in construction,
expansions at both Prominent Hill and Carrapateena well underway
and Pedra Branca mine ramped up to full production ahead
of schedule.
Our quality long life assets, our demonstrated ability to deliver
a growth portfolio and our agile culture of innovation and
collaboration ultimately resulted in the proposal by BHP to acquire
OZ Minerals for $28.25 per share, marking considerable value creation
for shareholders.
2022 Stakeholder Value Creation Outcomes
Our focus on value creation for multiple stakeholder groups is a
key differentiator for OZ Minerals and has been at the core of
our Strategy since 2015. In 2022 we reviewed the Company’s
Strategy, evolving our focus from Copper to Modern Minerals,
adding a sixth stakeholder group of ‘Customers’ and broadening
our ‘Employee’ stakeholder group to 'Workforce' to reflect the
importance of all people who contribute directly to OZ Minerals'
success. Our stakeholder value creation metrics were first published
in our 2020 Annual & Sustainability Report and inform targets
in our Executive remuneration framework. They are an important
performance assessment tool that focusses our work and behaviour
and support the achievement of our Purpose, Going beyond what’s
possible to make lives better.
We have shown how our performance against these metrics has
created value for our stakeholder groups (page 5).
2022 shareholder value creation highlights:
›
Net Profit After Tax of $207.3m.
›
Interim dividend of 8 cents per share paid in September 2022. The
Board has not declared a final dividend for 2022 but intends
to declare a special dividend in connection with the Scheme
before the Scheme meeting, conditional on the Scheme becoming
effective. Full details are set out in the Scheme Booklet to be sent
to shareholders in early March.
›
Total shareholder returns of 167% over the 3 year period of
1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022, finishing the period at the
85th percentile of our peer group.
›
Advancing our organic growth projects to unlock province
potential with progression of the Carrapateena Block Cave and
Prominent Hill Wira Shaft expansions.
›
The acquisition in August of an option to acquire the Kalkaroo
project, one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits
in Australia.
›
Commencing construction on the West Musgrave Project following
a positive Final Investment Decision in September.
›
Ramp up of Pedra Branca ahead of schedule and an accelerated
study program for the Santa Lucia project.
›
Publication of our Decarbonisation Roadmap and the completion
of the Scope 3 Reduction Plan which focuses on a data centric,
multi year phased approach to identifying and mitigating Scope
3 emissions.
›
An increase in our MSCI ESG rating from 7.9 to 8.5, maintaining
our classification as AA.
Of course, from a shareholder perspective, the most significant event
to occur in 2022 was the proposal by BHP to acquire OZ Minerals.
The Board rejected an initial approach in August at $25 per share
but following a period of engagement the Board reached agreement
with BHP to recommend a proposal at $28.25 per share representing
a premium of 49.3% to the closing share price on 5 August 2022,
subject to the independent expert concluding and continuing to
conclude that the transaction is in the best interests of shareholders,
and there being no superior proposal.
Full details of BHP's proposal will be sent to shareholders in a Scheme
Booklet in early March ahead of a Shareholder meeting to pass a
resolution approving the Scheme which is anticipated to be held in
April 2023.
Remuneration outcomes in 2022
In assessing remuneration outcomes during 2022, the Board believes
the following outcomes are a strong reflection of the Company’s
performance and are aligned with the experience of shareholders:
›
Executive salaries were increased as communicated in last year’s
report, in line with our remuneration philosophy and supported by
market data.
›
Notwithstanding our notable achievements outlined above, we
were disappointed that our total recordable injury frequency rate
(TRIFR) increased from 4.40 in 2021 to 6.99 in 2022. Whilst there
were several contributing factors (workforce turnover, challenging
underground operating conditions and a ramp up in both
greenfield and brownfield execution activities), a deterioration in
TRIFR is an unacceptable trend and this along with the need
to revise production and cost guidance is reflected in the score
of zero for the EBITDA, production and safety components of
the Company scorecard resulting in a Corporate Performance
score of 2.18 out of 5. The details can be found in section
3.2. The impact of these adjustments is reflected in the Short
Term Incentive (STI) payments which are also detailed in section
3.2, demonstrating clear links between business performance and
remuneration outcomes.
›
Reflecting Company performance and his leadership of OZ
Minerals through a milestone year, an STI award of 49 per cent
of his maximum STI opportunity ($771,750), was made to the
Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Cole.
›
Corporate and individual performances resulted in the award to
the CFO / Finance & Governance Executive Lead, Warrick Ranson,
of 63 per cent ($422,100), to the Operations Executive Lead,
Matthew Reed of 60 per cent ($371,875), to the Strategy &
Growth Executive Lead Bryan Quinn(1) of 70 per cent ($320,178)
and to the Projects Executive Lead Debbie Morrow(2) of 67 per
cent ($157,013) of their maximum STI opportunity. No STI award
was made to the former Projects Executive Lead Mark Irwin who
left the business in May 2022. Thirty per cent of the 2022 STI
awards have been paid in performance rights vesting in normal

circumstances after two years. Treatment of these performance
rights in the event of a change of control is addressed below.
›
The 2020 LTI performance rights vested at 100 per cent in
December 2022 following top quartile relative Total Shareholder
Returns (rTSR) (85.71 percentile) and strong All-in Sustaining
Costs (AISC) performance (132.4 USc/lb) over the three-year
performance period. This resulted in the vesting of 128,287
performance rights for Andrew Cole, 49,519 for Warrick Ranson
and 37,775 for Mark Irwin(1) . Details can be found in section 3.3.
The one-off grant of 19,296 Performance Rights made in 2021 to
Mark Irwin lapsed following his departure.
Remuneration changes for 2023
In accordance with our usual practice, during the second half of the
year, we conducted a review of employee and Executive salaries with
the Board resolving to approve a Company-wide remuneration review
of four per cent with effect from 1 January 2023 and for that to apply
also at Executive level. Accordingly, the Board resolved to increase the
fixed remuneration of:
›
Managing Director & CEO, Andrew Cole, from $1,050,000
to $1,092,000. Mr Cole's fixed remuneration remains low by
comparison with peers.
›
CFO / Finance and Governance Executive Lead, Warrick Ranson,
from $670,000 to $700,000 noting that Mr Ranson received a
4.5% increase to ensure his remuneration remained in line with
market peers.
›
Operations Executive Lead, Matthew Reed, from $625,000
to $650,000.
›
Strategy and Growth Executive Lead, Bryan Quinn, from $630,000
to $655,000; and
›
Projects Executive Lead, Debbie Morrow, from $620,000
to $645,000.
Further, in accordance with our remuneration framework and our
usual practice, Key Management Personnel (KMP) will be issued
performance rights under 2023–25 LTI offers with vesting measures
unchanged from 2022 namely, 60 per cent by rTSR and 20 per
cent by each of AISC and Environment, Social and Governance
(ESG) performance. Similarly, there will be no changes to the
comparator group.
In October 2022, the Board reviewed Non-executive Directors' fees
and determined to increase, with effect from 1 January 2023, the
Board Chair’s fee to $425,000 per annum and the Board base
fee received by other Non-executive Directors to $160,000 per
annum, noting that the last increase in these fees was 1 January
2021. These fee increases will increase overall Board remuneration by
approximately $100,000 per annum representing an overall increase
of seven per cent.
Remuneration implications of the approval of
the Scheme
Treatment of all outstanding performance rights in the event of a
change of control will be addressed in the Scheme Booklet in relation
to the BHP proposal to be issued to shareholders in early March 2023.
In summary, should the Scheme be approved, it has been agreed
with BHP that all outstanding performance rights (including those
issued in relation to outstanding LTI, STI and Performance Rights plans)
will vest in full but excluding performance rights granted under the
2023 LTI offer to Executive KMP. In accordance with Accounting
Standards, a provision has been made in the accounts for 2022
for the remuneration consequences of the Scheme resulting in an
incremented charge of $1.7 million in relation to Executive KMP.
Further details are provided in section 5.
In the case of the 2023 STI awards, if the Scheme is approved
and completes during the 2023 financial year, pro-rata STI awards
will be assessed and paid on the basis of Company and individual
performance for the period from 1 January 2023 to the effective date
of the Scheme.
It has been a privilege to Chair the People & Remuneration Committee
and see the delivery of continuous value creation for shareholders and
all stakeholders that OZ Minerals has become recognised for.
We thank you for your support of OZ Minerals.

This amount represents 70 per cent of total STI which was paid in cash for 2022. In addition, 30 per cent of total STI will be granted in performance rights to Mr Ranson (4,535),
Mr Reed (3,996), Mr Quinn (3,440) and Ms Morrow (1,687), which vest after 2 years provided certain conditions are satisfied (refer section 3.2). If the Scheme of Arrangement
pursuant to which BHP will acquire all of the shares in OZ Minerals ('Scheme') becomes effective then these perfomance rights will automatically vest and be exercised, and the
resulting shares will be transferred to BHP under the Scheme in exchange for $28.25 per share. For the Managing Director & CEO, Andrew Cole, the value of his deferred 2022
STI rights issue has been assessed at $231,525. If the Scheme becomes effective this amount will be paid to Mr Cole in cash. If the Scheme does not become effective, subject
to shareholder approval being obtained at a general meeting of the Company, this amount will be satisfied via an issue of performance rights in accordance with the OZ Minerals
Omnibus Incentive Plan Rules ('Plan Rules'). Mark Irwin ceased employment on 13 May 2022 and did not participate in the 2022 STI Plan.
(b)
On 31 December 2022, the 2020 STI vested resulting in the award of 18,029 shares to Mr Cole (see section 3.2) and 7,706 shares to Mr Ranson, and 7,641 shares to Mr Irwin.
The value of the deferred short term incentives which vested is calculated by multiplying the number of performance rights vested by the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of
$27.58 over the 20 day trading period 1 December to 30 December 2022 and adding the related equivalent dividends paid.
(c)
On 31 December 2022, the 2020 LTI performance rights vested resulting in the award of 128,287 shares to Mr Cole (see section 3.3) and 49,519 shares to Mr Ranson and 37,775
shares to Mr Irwin. The value of the long term incentives which vested is calculated by multiplying the number of performance rights vested by the volume weighted average price
(VWAP) of $27.58 over the 20 day trading period 1 December to 30 December 2022. The performance rights were awarded on the basis of a VWAP (20 trading days from 1 to
30 January 2020) share price of $10.52.

2 Remuneration Strategy
2.1 Remuneration Philosophy
OZ Minerals seeks to attract and retain high performing Executives. Our approach to remuneration is to provide Executives with market
competitive fixed remuneration and to reward outperformance through performance-linked, ‘at risk’ remuneration which is aligned to the
shareholder experience. Accordingly, we seek to position the fixed remuneration of our Executives at a market competitive level that is informed
by relevant benchmarks, with the opportunity to earn upper quartile total remuneration for delivering outperformance.

2.2 Remuneration Principles
Our remuneration principles that are set out below (Table 2), demonstrate the linkage between remuneration and the delivery of our business
strategies and objectives. The overriding business objective is to build value for all our stakeholders with ‘Creating Shared Value’ at the heart of
the OZ Minerals Strategy.
Table 2 – Remuneration Principles
Business needs and
market alignment
OZ Minerals’ remuneration framework is focused on achieving our corporate objectives and structured so that
outcomes are aligned with stakeholder value creation. The framework is informed by market practice.
Simplicity and equity
OZ Minerals’ remuneration philosophy, principles and framework are simple to understand, communicate and
implement, and are equitable across the Company and its diverse workforce.
Performance and
reward linkages
A well-designed remuneration framework supports and drives Company and team performance and encourages
the demonstration of desired behaviours. Performance measures and targets are few in number, outcome-
focused and customised at an individual level to maximise performance, accountability and reward linkages.
Market positioning and
remuneration mix
Fixed remuneration is set at a competitive level and positioned to take into account the challenges of
attracting and retaining high performers in business critical roles, particularly in the mining industry. The ‘at-risk’
components of remuneration are based on challenging goals designed to incentivise Executives to achieve
business critical objectives and create stakeholder value including shareholder returns. A substantial portion of
remuneration is paid in equity and ‘locked in’ to encourage focus on longer term outcomes.
Talent management
The remuneration framework is closely aligned with our performance and talent management frameworks to
ensure that we appropriately reward employees who deliver upon their role accountabilities and our corporate
objectives and to engage future leaders.
Governance, transparency
and communication
with shareholders
OZ Minerals is committed to developing and maintaining remuneration practices that promote the creation
of shared value for stakeholders. We openly communicate these practices to shareholders and other relevant
stakeholders, and will always be within legal, regulatory and industry requirements. The Board has absolute
discretion to develop, implement and review all aspects of remuneration.
2.3 Remuneration framework
The OZ Minerals Remuneration Framework seeks to attract high performing people to deliver the OZ Minerals Strategy, offering fixed and
variable (at-risk) pay that incentivises both short term and longer term performance in alignment with business objective to build value for all
our stakeholders.
Element
Structure
Performance Measures
Link to delivery of
corporate Strategy
Total Fixed
Remuneration
(TFR)
Base cash salary, statutory
superannuation contributions and salary
sacrificed benefits (provided that no
extra cost is incurred by the Company
for these benefits).
TFR is determined based on
factors including external market
benchmarking, relativity to peers and
individual performance.
Fixed remuneration is set at a
competitive level to take into account
the challenges of attracting and retaining
high performers in business critical roles.
Short Term
Incentive (STI)
Mix of 70 per cent cash and 30 per cent
performance rights, with a subsequent
two-year service period.
STI is determined based on performance
against challenging, clearly defined
and measurable corporate and
individual targets.
The short term ‘at-risk’ component of
remuneration is focused on incentivising
Executives to achieve business critical
objectives and demonstrate OZ Minerals’
desired ways of working.
Long Term
Incentive (LTI)
Performance rights with a three-year
vesting period subject to an additional
two-year holding lock period.
LTI is assessed against three(a)
performance hurdles:
›
Relative Total Shareholder Return
(rTSR):60 per cent
›
All-in Sustaining Costs (AISC): 20
per cent
›
Environment, Social and Governance
(ESG) measure: 20 per cent
The long term ‘at-risk’ component of
remuneration rewards the delivery of
shareholder returns and a sustainable
business whilst encouraging decision
making aligned to long term shareholder
value creation.
Minimum
Shareholding
Requirements
(MSR)
All Executives are expected to accumulate and hold a minimum level of vested
shares in OZ Minerals over a reasonable period. There are different shareholding
requirements for each level of Management, which are expressed as a percentage
of their TFR.
This requirement increases the sense of
ownership of the Company amongst our
Executives and enhances the degree to
which our reward arrangements align
the interests of our Executives with the
shareholder experience.

2.4 Review of Executive KMP remuneration
Executive KMP remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Board with support from the People & Remuneration Committee and
external remuneration consultants, as required. The review ensures that Executive KMP remuneration remains consistent with the Company’s
remuneration framework and guiding principles, and considers:
›
the Company’s remuneration philosophy
›
relevant market benchmarks using remuneration survey data from the Australian and global industrial and resources sectors
›
the skills and experience required of each role in order to grade positions accurately and attract high calibre people
›
individual performance against role expectations, set objectives, leadership behaviours and development plans
›
Company Strategy, business plans and budgets.
2.5 Executive KMP remuneration components
2.5.1 Remuneration mix
The mix of fixed and at-risk remuneration varies depending on the role and grading of Executives as well as the performance of the Company
and individual Executives. More senior positions have a greater proportion of at-risk remuneration. If ‘at target’ and ‘at maximum’ at-risk
remuneration is earned, the ratios of fixed to at-risk remuneration for KMP would be as follows.

2.5.2 Total fixed remuneration (TFR)
What is included in TFR?
An Executive KMP’s TFR comprises salary, certain other benefits (including statutory superannuation contributions) and salary sacrificed benefits
(provided that no extra cost is incurred by the Company for these benefits).
When and how is TFR reviewed?
TFR is reviewed annually. Any adjustments to the TFR for the Managing Director & CEO and other Executive KMP must be approved by the Board
after recommendations from the People & Remuneration Committee. Market benchmarking of Executive remuneration was conducted in 2022,
mindful of the need to continue to retain our key employees in a competitive market and operating environment, whilst staying alert to the
impact of commodity cycle pricing.
Are there any changes to how TFR is determined?
No changes to our approach to determine TFR were implemented in 2022. We will continue to review our Executive remuneration levels annually
to ensure pay levels remain competitive to attract, motivate and retain the best talent for OZ Minerals.
2.5.3 Short term incentive (STI)
Why does the Board consider that a STI is an appropriate element of remuneration?
The purpose of the STI is to ensure that the award of a significant proportion of the total reward package is subject to meeting various targets
linked to OZ Minerals’ business objectives.
The STI is considered to be an appropriate component of the total reward package as it:
›
rewards Executives who contribute to OZ Minerals' success during the performance year
›
ensures that a significant portion of the total remuneration package is linked to the achievement of various targets linked to OZ Minerals'
corporate performance, business objectives and value creation for all stakeholders
›
avoids the necessity of much higher levels of TFR and is designed to focus and motivate employees to achieve outcomes which deliver the
Company Strategy
›
through its STI funding approach, provides OZ Minerals with the flexibility to manage the overall cost of the STI and remuneration in line with
the achievement of corporate performance outcomes.

2022 Performance Snapshot

Strategy
Operating Review

In addition, a reward structure that provides variable performance-based remuneration is also a necessary component of a competitive
remuneration package in the Australian and broader global marketplace for Executives.
OZ Minerals reviews the STI annually to ensure it remains aligned to market practice and continues to incentivise participants in alignment with
Company strategy and business objectives.
How is Performance assessed?
In 2022 performance was assessed across objectives and targets in the following categories: (a) Company Goals, (b) Individual Goals and (c) our
How We Work Together (HWWT) principles.
The Company Goals in 2022 determined 80 per cent of the STI award for the Managing Director & CEO with Individual Goals determining the
balance of 20 per cent. The Company Goals determined 50 per cent of the STI award for the other Executive KMP with the balance determined
by attainment of Individual Goals (25 per cent) and the demonstration of behaviours exemplifying the Company’s HWWT principles (25 per cent).
This is consistent with prior years.
Company Goals are set through a robust process that cascades our Stakeholder Value Creation Metrics and overall annual business plan into
a series of Company priorities with detailed goals and measurable objectives defining threshold, on-target and maximum rating achievement.
Once Company Goals are approved by the Board each January they are cascaded into Board approved Individual Goals for each Executive KMP,
ensuring alignment of focus throughout the organisation. The table below shows a summary of the goals and objectives set for the Company
and individual KMP and demonstrates how they align to our Stakeholder Value Creation Metrics.

Is there an overriding financial performance condition or other condition?
Yes. The availability and funding of the STI pool is at the discretion of the Board, which takes into account the interests of the Company and
shareholders. In its discretion, the Board can choose not to pay or reduce the amount of the STI awards otherwise payable.
How is the STI structured to reward exceptional performance?
›
The STI is designed to reward Executive KMP for the achievement of identified objectives any point in between threshold and maximum
performance levels.
›
Threshold performance represents the minimum level of performance required for an STI award to be paid.
›
Target performance represents the achievement of planned or budgeted performance, set at a challenging level.
›
Maximum performance represents outstanding performance, set at a stretch level.

How is STI assessed?
Company Goals: Comprehensive data against each separate measure within the Company Goals is collated and reviewed by the People &
Remuneration Committee and the Board to assess the performance of the Company against the Company Goals and determine a rating for the
Company Goal element of the STI.
Individual Goals: The People & Remuneration Committee and Board assess the performance of the Managing Director & CEO for achievement
against his agreed individual performance targets and objectives and determine a rating for the Individual Goal element of his STI.
The Managing Director & CEO assesses the performance of each Executive KMP throughout the year for achievement against their
individual performance targets and objectives and arrives at a summary year end assessment for discussion with the People & Remuneration
Committee and the Board. The Board also reviews the performance assessment of all other Executives who report directly to the Managing
Director & CEO, with a view to understanding, endorsing and/or discussing individual circumstances, performance, leadership behaviours and
future development.
What happens to STI awards when an Executive ceases employment?
If the cessation of employment is due to resignation, performance reasons, or as a result of gross misconduct, the Executive will not be eligible
to receive any STI award in the year of cessation of employment. If an Executive KMP ceases employment with OZ Minerals as a result of
retrenchment, retirement, permanent incapacity or death and subject to the Executive’s contract and Board approval, the STI may be granted on
a pro rata basis in relation to the period of service completed. If an Executive leaves as a Good Leaver, performance rights unvested remain on
foot to vest in the normal course.
How is the STI settled?
70 per cent of STI is paid in cash and 30 per cent of STI is awarded in performance rights which vest, subject to fulfillment of a further service
condition of an additional two years with the Company.
Have the arrangements changed from last year?
No.
2.5.4 Long term incentive (LTI)
Why does the Board consider that a LTI is an appropriate element of remuneration?
It is the view of the Board that an appropriately structured LTI:
›
focuses and motivates Executives to achieve superior longer term performance outcomes
›
ensures that business decisions and strategic planning take into account the Company’s long term performance
›
is consistent with contemporary remuneration governance standards and guidelines
›
is consistent and competitive with current practices across comparable companies
›
creates an ownership mindset among the Executives, aligning them with shareholders by linking a substantial portion of their potential total
reward to OZ Minerals’ shareholder returns.
How is the award delivered?
Awards under the LTI are granted using performance rights (detailed in Table 3.3). The performance rights have a three-year performance period.
Post vesting, they are subject to a two-year holding lock period.

Was a grant made in 2022?
Yes. As detailed in Table 3.3, a grant was made to all Executive KMP (including the Managing Director & CEO). Grants were made applying a
face value approach, the number of performance rights granted to each Executive was calculated as their LTI dollar opportunity divided by the
adjusted twenty-day VWAP of OZ Minerals as at the start of the performance period of $27.01. The performance period for the 2022 LTI grant is
1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024.

What are the performance and service conditions?
In order for any vesting of the 2022 LTI grant to occur, the following conditions must be satisfied: (a) OZ Minerals meeting the LTI performance
conditions/hurdles; and (b) the Executive KMP meeting the service condition.
Were there any changes to the 2022 LTI from the previous year?
As foreshadowed in the 2021 Annual & Sustainability Report, the LTI performance conditions for the 2022 offers have been expanded to include
a third performance hurdle category in the form of an Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) measure. This ESG measure applies the MSCI
ESG Ratings Metals and Mining – Non-Precious Metals as a performance hurdle. The respective weightings of the performance hurdles are set
out below:

The performance hurdles for the 2022 offers are set out in further detail below:
1. Relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR)
Relative TSR is the primary LTI performance hurdle measured against a comparator group. The Board considers rTSR to be an appropriate
performance measure because it ensures that a proportion of each participant’s remuneration is linked to value creation for shareholders and
that participants only receive a benefit where there is a corresponding direct benefit to our shareholders as reflected in the relative economic
return to shareholders.
TSR reflects benefits received by shareholders through share price growth and dividend yield and it is the most widely used long term
incentive measure in Australia. The Company employs an independent organisation to calculate the TSR ranking to ensure an objective
assessment of the relative TSR comparison. Performance rights in respect to this hurdle vest in accordance with the following table.

The rTSR performance hurdle accounts for 60 per cent of the LTI award.
2. All-in Sustaining Costs (AISC)
AISC is an industry accepted measure of the total operating cost of producing a unit of metal. Comparative data is sourced from CRU’s global
copper mine database. The annual AISC performance is recalculated across the full three-year period (total three-year absolute costs divided
by total three-year copper metal production). The comparison is to the average published AISC benchmark across that same period.
Performance in relation to this hurdle is measured over the three-year performance period and vests in accordance with the following table.

The AISC hurdle accounts for 20 per cent of the LTI award.
3. Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)
The Rights subject to the ESG measure have the MSCI ESG Ratings Metals and Mining – Non-Precious Metals as a performance hurdle.
MSCI ESG Ratings measures a company’s resilience to long term ESG risks based on publicly available information, is independent and
transparent. Performance rights in respect of this hurdle will vest in accordance with the following table:

The ESG hurdle accounts for 20 per cent of the LTI award.
Service condition
In general, if Executives cease employment as a ‘Good Leaver’ prior to vesting of their rights at the end of the performance period, a pro rata
portion of their rights, having regard to the portion of the performance period that has elapsed, will continue on foot and be subject to their
original terms as though they had not ceased employment. Any remaining rights will lapse immediately. Their shares still subject to a holding
lock, will continue on foot and be subject to their original terms as though they had not ceased employment.
Why were these measures chosen?
It is standard market practice to link individual Executive performance (including mandatory service periods) and Company performance to the
vesting of performance rights. The conditions link Executives’ retention and performance directly to rewards, but only where shareholder returns
are realised (TSR), the operating cost of producing a unit of metal is kept competitive (AISC) and ESG risks are managed appropriately. The

focus on employee-held equity is also part of a deliberate policy to strengthen engagement and direct personal interest to achieve returns
for shareholders.
What is the Comparator Group?
The comparator companies selected for the LTI are considered to be alternative investment vehicles for local and global investors seeking
exposure to copper and nickel. They are impacted by commodity prices and cyclical factors in a similar way to OZ Minerals. The Comparator
Group is reviewed annually for market changes, as reflected in the table below.

Are any changes to the LTI proposed for 2023?
Noting the addition of the ESG performance hurdle in 2022, no changes are proposed for 2023.
What happens to performance rights granted under the LTI when an Executive ceases employment?
If the Executive’s employment is terminated for cause, all unvested performance rights will lapse unless the Board determines otherwise. In all
other circumstances, unless the Board determines otherwise, a pro rata portion of the Executive’s performance rights, calculated by reference to
the portion of the performance period that has elapsed, will remain on foot. If and when these performance rights vest, shares will be allocated
(or a cash equivalent amount will be paid) in accordance with OZ Minerals Limited Omnibus Incentive Plan Rules and any other conditions
of grant.
What happens in the event of a change of control?
In the event of a takeover or change of control at OZ Minerals, the Board has the discretion to determine that the vesting of all or some of the
performance rights should be accelerated. The treatment of performance rights in connection with the Scheme will be set out in the Scheme
Booklet to be sent to shareholders in early March.
Is there any ability for the Company to ‘clawback’ LTI awards?
In the event of fraud, dishonesty, gross misconduct or material misstatement of the financial statements, the Board may make a determination
that could include the lapsing of unvested performance rights, the forfeiture of shares allocated on vesting of performance rights, and/or
repayment of any cash payment or dividends to ensure that no unfair benefit was obtained.
The Board can also adjust awards granted under the STI or LTI offers in the event that there is a catastrophic safety, environmental, or other
event, in which an adjustment is warranted.
Does the Company have a policy in relation to margin loans and hedging at risk remuneration?
Under the Company’s Securities Trading requirements, all Executives, Directors and Officers are prohibited from entering into financing
arrangements where the monies owed to the lender are secured against a mortgage over OZ Minerals’ shares.
The Company’s Securities Trading Policy also prohibits Executives and employees from entering into any hedging arrangement over unvested
securities issued pursuant to any share scheme, performance rights plan or option plan.

2.6 Remuneration consultants
The Board of Directors and the People & Remuneration Committee seek and consider advice from independent remuneration consultants to
ensure that they have all of the relevant information at their disposal to determine Executive KMP remuneration. Remuneration consultant
engagement is governed by internal protocols that set the parameters around the interaction between Management and consultants to minimise
the risk of any undue influence and ensure compliance with the Corporations Act 2001.
Protocols
Under the protocols adopted by the Board and the People & Remuneration Committee:
›
remuneration consultants are engaged by and report directly to the Board or the People & Remuneration Committee
›
the Committee must, in deciding whether to approve the engagement, have regard to any potential conflicts of interest including factors that
may influence independence such as previous and future work performed by the Committee and any relationships that exist between any
Executive KMP and the consultant
›
communication between the remuneration consultants and Executive KMP is restricted to minimise the risk of undue influence on the
remuneration consultant
›
where the consultant is also engaged to perform work that does not involve the provision of a remuneration recommendation, prior approval
of the Board or People & Remuneration Committee must be obtained in certain circumstances where the consultant continues to be engaged
to provide remuneration recommendations.
The Board and the People & Remuneration Committee use remuneration consultants’ advice and recommendations from time to time. The
Board makes its decisions after it considers the issues and the advice from the People & Remuneration Committee and consultants.
During 2022, SW Corporate was engaged to undertake market benchmarking for the Managing Director & CEO’s remuneration, Executive KMP
remuneration and for the Non-executive Directors' fees. In addition, SW Corporate provided insight on market practice for the information of
the People & Remuneration Committee. The analysis and insight from SW Corporate was considered by the Board and People & Remuneration
Committee in forming their views on remuneration matters. The work completed did not constitute a remuneration recommendation in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
3 Company performance and remuneration outcomes
Our remuneration framework is designed to reward Executives for the creation of value for our stakeholders. We recognise the importance of
clearly demonstrating the link between business performance and value creation over time and Executive remuneration outcomes.
3.1 Company performance over time
Over time Executive performance rewarded via both Short Term and Long Term Incentives has reflected the year on year creation of value across
a range of measures.

3.2 Company performance and STI outcomes for 2022
In keeping with prior years, the 2022 Company Goals (which represent 80 per cent per cent of the STI for the Managing Director & CEO and
50% for other Executive KMP) were set based on key company priorities that, in line with our value creation Strategy, are intended to drive value
creation for all of our stakeholder groups.
A series of measures encompassing Shareholder Value, Government Value, Community Value, Supplier Value and Employee Value were set to
ensure that Company performance is holistically assessed. The rating criteria for each measure is threshold (2), on-target (3) and maximum (5).
Performance was tracked throughout the year and assessed at year end with a detailed review by the Board on delivery against set targets.

Board’s assessment of Corporate Performance Score
Although 2022 saw significant achievements, it was an operationally challenging year with adverse weather conditions, supply chain challenges
and the ongoing impacts of COVID related absenteeism in the first half necessitating, in June, a downward revision to production and cost
guidance for the first time in seven years. However, the adaptability of our culture and workforce enabled us to recalibrate performance and
deliver against revised guidance including our highest group quarterly copper production on record in Q4 and delivery against Prominent Hill’s
original copper guidance for an eighth consecutive year.
Nevertheless, as a result of the challenges earlier in the year, our 2022 performance against the key financial metrics of EBITDA and Net Profit
After Tax was below target. Further, our total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) increased from 4.40 in 2021 to 6.99 in 2022 which is
a disappointing outcome given our focus on safety and employee well being. Whilst there were a number of contributing factors including
workforce turnover, challenging underground operating conditions and a ramp up in both greenfield and brownfield execution activities, a
deterioration in TRIFR is not an acceptable trend. These outcomes are reflected in the Board attributing a score of zero for the EBITDA,
production and safety components of the Company scorecard, and an overall rating of 2.18 out of 5 which is a reduction of approximately 36%
on the prior year and in alignment with our philosophy on ‘at risk’ pay. The Board’s assessment of achievements against the targets set for the
year for each component of the Company Score is set out below.

3.3 LTI performance and outcomes
Performance rights granted under the OZ Minerals LTI offers are granted for no consideration. Performance rights granted under the LTI offers
carry no dividend or voting rights. One ordinary share in the Company will be allocated on vesting of a performance right. For grants from
2020 to 2021 the performance hurdles are relative TSR and AISC performance weighted at 70 per cent and 30 per cent respectively. From 2022
onwards the performance hurdles are:
Performance Hurdles

Environment, Social and Governance

In regard to the 2020 LTI offers, over the performance period of 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022, the Company achieved top quartile
performance against the 2020 Comparator Group with a relative TSR ranking (assessed independently by Orient Capital) of 85.71 percentile. As
a result, the rTSR component of the LTI vested at 100 per cent in accordance with the vesting schedule.
The OZL average AISC across the 2020-2022 vesting period was 132.4 USc/lb, which is below the 25th percentile of the Average CRU AISC over
the same period (133.9 USc/lb), confirming OZ Minerals continues to be a leading low cost producer. As a result, the AISC component of the LTI
vested at 100 per cent vesting as per the conditions outlined in Table 9.

(a)
The minimum value of each grant is nil. The maximum value of grant is calculated by applying the highest price of OZ Minerals’ shares during the year in which the rights were
issued (2022 at $29.75).
(b)
The weighted average fair values were calculated proportional to the fair value of each hurdle. In accordance with the requirements of applicable Accounting Standards,
remuneration includes a proportion of the notional value of performance rights as compensation granted or outstanding during the year. The notional value of performance rights
granted as compensation is determined as at the grant date and progressively allocated over the vesting period. The amount included as remuneration is not related to or indicative
of the benefit (if any) that individual Executives may in fact receive. The values were calculated by an external third party based on a Monte-Carlo simulation model.
(c)
Expiry date does not consider holding lock periods.
(d)
The Board has exercised its discretion for all of these outstanding Performance Rights to vest, subject to the Scheme becoming effective. If the Scheme does not become effective,
the Performance Rights will remain on issue and will vest according to the existing vesting conditions, as determined by the Board.
(e)
Mr Irwin's 2020, 2021 and 2022 LTI awards were adjusted in accordance with his cessation agreement. There have been no fair value changes for the awards.

(a)
Includes shares owned and exercisable and performance rights awarded where vesting is only contingent on a service condition being satisfied. Information at 31 December 2022
based on share price at that date. With expected levels of vesting of the deferred equity element of the STI and LTI, it is anticipated that all executive KMP should meet their
minimum shareholding requirement within the required timeframe.
4 Executive KMP employment arrangements
Remuneration arrangements for Executive KMP are formalised in Executive Service Agreements. Each agreement provides for the payment of

(a)
Annual leave has been separately categorised and is measured on an accrual basis and reflects the movement in the accrual over the twelve month period. Any reduction in accrued
annual leave reflects more leave taken/cashed out than that which accrued in the period.
(b)
Represents direct contributions to superannuation funds. Amounts greater than the maximum superannuation level have been paid and included in cash salary.
(c)
Termination benefits paid to Mr Irwin in accordance with cessation of employment arrangements. No other Benefits or Allowances paid to Executive KMP.
(d)
For 2022 it includes the cash proportion of 2022 STI and the equivalent dividends paid for 2020 STI deferred.
(e)
Represents the net accrual movement for Long Service Leave (LSL) over the twelve-month period which will only be paid if Executive KMP meets the required service conditions.
(f)
The fair values were calculated as at the grant dates. In accordance with the requirements of applicable Accounting Standards, remuneration includes a proportion of the notional
value of equity rights compensation granted or outstanding during the year. The notional value of equity rights granted as compensation which do not vest during the reporting
period is determined as at the grant date and progressively allocated over the vesting period. The amount included as remuneration is not related to or indicative of the benefit (if
any) that individual Executives may in fact receive. The values were calculated by an external third party based on a Monte Carlo simulation model.
(g)
Reflects actual value of deferred STI, which is provided in the form of performance rights. The total value of the deferred STI is recognised proportionally over the period the
Executive is required to provide service. For the Managing Director & CEO, Andrew Cole, the value of his deferred 2022 STI performance rights has been assessed at $231,525. If
the Scheme becomes effective, this amount will be paid to Mr Cole in cash. If the Scheme does not become effective, subject to shareholder approval being obtained at a general
meeting of the Company, this amount will be satisfied via an issue of perfomance rights in accordance with the Plan Rules.
(h)
On 22 December 2022, OZ Minerals entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with BHP Lonsdale Investments Pty Ltd ('BHP'), a wholly owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited,
in relation to the proposed acquisition by BHP of all of the issued shares in OZ Minerals by way of scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('Scheme').
Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, all unvested performance rights (other than performance rights granted under the 2023 LTI offer to Executive KMP) will automatically
vest and be exercised, with one OZ Minerals Share issued per performance right. If the Scheme does not become effective, the unvested performance rights continue on foot on
their current terms. OZ Minerals Management must assess the likelihood of the Scheme becoming effective and the performance rights therefore automatically vesting and being
exercised, and has determined that it is more likely than not that the Scheme will become effective. As such, share based payments have been calculated on the basis that the
Scheme becomes effective and all of the performance rights (other than performance rights granted under the 2023 LTI offer to Executive KMP) vest and are exercised on Scheme
effective date, with the cumulative impact of the revision to original estimates recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
(i)
Mr Quinn became KMP on 11 April 2022.
(j)
Ms Morrow became KMP on15 August 2022.
(k)
Mr Irwin ceased employment on 13 May 2022. Mr Irwin's 2020, 2021 and 2022 LTI awards were adjusted in accordance with his cessation agreement. There have been no fair
value changes for the awards. Termination benefits paid in accordance with cessation of employment arrangements.
(l)
Retention Award cash component included under 'Other Long Term Benefits' and performance rights component under 'Value of Performance Rights' for Mr. Irwin.

Sustainability Review
1. 2022 sustainability reporting & disclosures
For 2022, we have adopted a new format for our Sustainability
reporting, reflecting contextual changes including stakeholder
expectations and our macroenvironment. Our Sustainability
Review focuses on our 2022 performance and activities, such as
our Stakeholder Value Creation Metrics, Strategic Aspirations,
and material sustainability topics, including risks (opportunities
and threats) at OZ Minerals. The Review is accompanied by broader
disclosures regarding our approach to managing material sustainability
topics and supporting performance data available in the Sustainability
section of our website. The new format builds on our history of
reporting our sustainability performance, which we commenced in
2008 as a separate report. In 2016, we combined our disclosures
into a single Annual & Sustainability Report to demonstrate the
interconnectivity and interdependency of sustainability with Company
performance. Stakeholder value creation is the centre of our
Company Strategy and the lens through which we view sustainability.
Our 2022 Sustainability Review covers the performance of our Australian
assets Prominent Hill, Carrapateena, and West Musgrave (WMP) 1, and
our Brazilian assets in the Carajás Province.

2. Sustainability the OZWay
Value creation for our six stakeholder groups is at the centre
of our Strategy (see page 8). The OZWay embeds the concept of
value creation across our Company via our governance systems and
processes, how we conduct our business activities, and manage risk
while delivering performance across our devolved operating model
to exceed stakeholder expectations (see page 8 of Annual Report
for further overview of The OZWay).
Our Strategic Aspirations (see page 9) paint an ambitious and
motivational picture of the future we strive to achieve for our people
and other stakeholders. They help focus our work on a few high-
impact activities under each element of our Strategy in pursuit of our
Purpose: Going beyond what’s possible to make lives better.
Sustainability is embedded across The OZWay through our Strategic
Aspirations, organisational model, and our governance systems
and processes, including our Board Sustainability Committee,
Stakeholder Value Creation Policies, Global Process and Performance
Standards, and Stakeholder Value Creation Metrics (see page 5).
This ensures sustainability is part of OZ Minerals as a Modern Mining
Company focused on Modern Minerals. Our 2022 Sustainability
Review discusses how the elements of sustainability align across
our Stakeholders.
2.1
Strategic Aspirations and Stakeholder Value
Creation Metrics
Our Strategic Aspirations are just that, ‘aspirational’. They paint an
ambitious and motivational picture of the future we strive to achieve
for our people and other stakeholders. While they may not always
be achieved and may be dependent on matters outside our control,
we have found that aiming high helps us achieve beyond what most
would think possible. Our Strategic Aspirations help focus our work
on a few high-impact activities under each element of our Strategy
(see page 8).
Our Stakeholder Value Creation Metrics (SVCMs) provide our six
Stakeholder Groups transparency on how we are creating value
(see page 5). The SVCMs also support our approach, performance,
and our focus across material sustainability topics including: safety,
health and wellbeing, governance, socio-economic contribution,
emissions and energy, stakeholder engagement, human rights,
cultural heritage, water and waste, land and biodiversity, diversity,
equity and inclusion (DEI), and culture.

Materiality Assessment
Our annual Materiality Assessment identifies the topics most
important to our Stakeholders and our Performance. Outcomes of
the Materiality Assessment allow us to better understand our context
and inform the choices that drive delivery of our Strategy, our Work
and Performance.
Our 2022 Assessment demonstrated that environmental and social
topics are most material, alongside health, safety and wellbeing
(figure below). Business ethics and economic performance decreased
in materiality in 2022 compared with previous years.

Performance Standards
We aim to be welcome in the communities and regions that host our operations, and we endeavour to engage in genuine partnerships with
local communities, suppliers, and all levels of government where we share opportunities and work collaboratively on threats and opportunities
to achieve our common goals. First Nations Peoples and local land-connected peoples, as well as our host communities, rely on OZ Minerals to
act with transparency and build sustainable partnerships based on trust and collaboration that helps us understand the impact of our activities.
These partnerships deliver long-term benefits, maximising opportunities and minimising negative effects.
Our Global Social Performance Standards set out the minimum requirements for our Workforce and Suppliers to manage threats associated
with specific activities or tasks, and to identify opportunities that have the potential to drive value creation for both OZ Minerals and the
communities in which we operate, and wish to be welcome. These Standards are guided by the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
and align with the United Nations frameworks for human rights including:
› the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
› the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights; and
› the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
All statutory and legal requirements must be met, however, our Social Performance Standards impose additional requirements for stakeholder
engagement and assessing and managing threats and opportunities arising from our operations. This includes how we manage heritage,
land access, acquisition and resettlement as well as other human rights issues. For more information on our Social Performance Standards see
(ozminerals.com/en/how-we-work/performance-standards).
As part of our Strategy (ozminerals.com/en/who-we-are/our-strategy), we prioritise Partnering relationships with our Communities that
enhance education opportunities and build resilience and capability in ways that support the following UN SDGs:
› Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
› Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
› Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
› Goal 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable
and inclusive institutions at all levels

Safety & Wellbeing
At OZ Minerals safety is everyone’s responsibility. We strive to
create a culture where everyone is empowered to act. Our Global
Safety, and Health and Wellbeing Performance Standards guide our
approach to managing physical and psychosocial risks associated
with mining activities and support us in protecting the safety of all
parties undertaking work at our Assets, Corporate Functions and
remote locations.
We are committed to preventing workplace injuries and illnesses
through continuous monitoring of key indicators. We investigate all
safety incidents and implement corrective actions upon thorough
investigation. The Learning Through Incidents and Risk Management
Process Standards set out the process for identifying, evaluating
and reporting incidents, including those pertaining to physical and
psychosocial safety.
Incidents and near misses are rated internally against potential or
actual consequence and likelihood. Every incident is also assessed
for its impact on our six stakeholder groups. All significant safety
incidents (actual or potential) are investigated thoroughly using the
Incident–Cause–Analysis Method (ICAM).
The Board oversees our approach to managing safety risks through
the Sustainability Committee. Our Global Safety Performance
Standards are designed to be in line with the statutory requirements
of the jurisdictions in which we operate at a minimum and guide our
approach to risk evaluation.
4.3
Workforce SVCMs
Our employees, contracting partners and contingent workforce are
essential to the development and operations of OZ Minerals. They
allow us to put our Purpose into action and drive value creation for
all our Stakeholders.

DIVERSITY
INCLUSION
We want to have an inclusive and diverse workplace that recognises
everyone’s value and creates opportunities for everyone to fully
contribute and thrive. Our approach is designed to drive cultural
change through building inclusive systems, symbols, mindsets and
behaviours, underpinned by How We Work Together Principles.
This is embedded through People Process Standards and inclusive
talent practices to counteract the risk of unconscious biases,
Health and Wellbeing Performance Standards, OZWay Capability
and Leadership programs. We also track lag and lead indicators
of diversity and inclusion, and focus on continuing to mainstream
flexible working practices through Work Life Plans. We have an
annual calendar of Inclusion and Diversity events such as International
Women’s Day and NAIDOC week. We regularly track progress
around the experiences of our workforce through our independent
workforce Pulse survey conducted every quarter.
CASE STUDY
GENDER PAY EQUITY
As part of our 2022 Salary Review we undertook a
compa-ratio review of Gender Pay Equity at Pay Level,
(not just ‘like for like’ roles) reducing our Gender Pay
Gap from 2.3% to 0.9% for all OZ Minerals Australian
Employees. We also updated our controls to systematise
gender pay equity across the employee life cycle (hiring,
promotions, annual review etc). Our 2021-22 WGEA
Annual Compliance Report indicated OZ Minerals is
number 1 in our Industry for Gender Pay Equity.
CASE STUDY
STOP FOR SAFETY 2022
In August a company-wide Safety Stop was held across
OZ Minerals following an increase in safety related
incidents within a short period.
The day consisted of a series of interactive sessions held
both in-person and virtually on how to achieve better safety
outcomes. These included reviews of workplace hazards,
area inspections and clean up activities, update of Work
Life Plans, leader storytelling and team commitments to
safety and wellbeing supported by incident trend and Pulse
data (anonymous workforce feedback tool). We also held
safety circles to share de-identified incidents of harassment
and build ‘upstander’ capability.

Culture
Our commitment to prioritising the safety, health and wellbeing of
our Workforce includes ensuring our work environment is physically
and psychologically safe and everyone feels respected and included.
At the heart is our How We Work Together principles and behaviours
of caring for each other, looking after our own health and wellbeing
and supporting others to do the same, and questioning behaviours
that are not aligned with How We Work Together.
The recent attention on challenges of sexual harassment and bullying
in our industry are a powerful reminder that we must continue to
focus on building a culture of care and respect. We are identifying
and assessing both physical and psychosocial risks and hazards and
putting in place plans to address these.
We measure our success using a series of Stakeholder Value Creation
Metrics (SVCMs).
We have zero tolerance for harassment, bullying and discrimination
in all its forms. In 2022 we took a number of actions to strengthen
our controls and systematise zero tolerance into our operations.
This includes:
› CEO conversation circles to listen directly to workforce experiences
of respect and inclusion (what is working well and where we
can improve).
› Increase in females in leadership from 18.6% to 22.1%.
› Incidents involving behaviour which may result in prolonged
physical or psychological harm to member(s) of the workforce are
treated as significant incidents.
› Sharing de-identified incidents through CEO broadcasts and safety
circles on site to reinforce behavioural expectations and learning.
› Building capability in how to be an ‘upstander’ vs a bystander and
proactively intervene early if people see or experience something
that makes them or others feel uncomfortable.
› Strengthening our Code of Conduct, Speak up and Incidents
Process Standards and Global Health and Wellbeing Performance
standards.
› Strengthening lag and lead indicators in our Pulse survey to
measure effectiveness of our controls.
› Independent audit of our two Australian site facilities, processes and
policies to identify opportunities to strengthen controls aligned to our
commitment to safe, respectful work environments.
› We are in the process of training and establishing a Safe Space
Network as an additional channel to support people who
have seen or experienced inappropriate workplace behaviours
(partnering with Blue Knot National Centre of Excellence for
support for people impacted by trauma).
This work supports OZ Minerals’ pursuit of UN Sustainable Development
Goal number 5, Achieve gender equality and empower all women
and girls.
4.5
Community SVCMs
At OZ Minerals, we measure the value we create for our Communities
through our approach to Social Performance with a set of metrics,
our SVCMs, that help us understand and learn from our activities and
their impacts (see page 5).
Community SVCMs
In 2022 we undertook a review of Community SVCMs to ensure that
the Company is aiming high to achieve its targets and to collect rich
data on emerging patterns and areas for learning and growth to
support our Strategic Aspirations.
4.5.1 How we engaged in 2022
We work to protect and respect country and culture by supporting
the principles of Voice, Treaty and Truth and support the effort being
made to achieve National Reconciliation. In 2019, we engaged in
extensive consultation with our Traditional Owners with respect to
the need for a collective company Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
It was their view that our Partnering Agreements superseded a RAP.
These agreements enshrine our commitment to work in the spirit of
shared value and mutual obligation and inform the management of
our production Assets’ specific Native Title Mining Agreements.
OZ Minerals recognises the collective rights of First Nations Peoples
to self-determine and decision-make in regard to their lands and
waters. This is the principle that underpins our work to ensure Free,
Prior and Informed Consent. For more information on how we
engage with Communities, develop Agreements and ensure that
Free, Prior and Informed Consent is granted, see ozminerals.com/en/
how-we-work/partnering-with-communities/how-we-engage.
Examples of successful partnerships undertaken in 2022 can be
found at ozminerals.com/en/where-we-work.

In 2022 OZ Minerals supported initiatives to the value of $145,000.
In addition, OZ Minerals is a member of associations including
the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME),
Association of Mining Exploration Companies (AMEC), United
Nations Global Compact (UNGC), Committee for Economic
Development of Australia (CEDA), Australia-Latin America Business
Council (ALABC), Work180, Diversity Council of Australia, Pride in
Diversity, Parents at Work and International Copper Association
Australia (ICAA).
In 2022 OZ Minerals undertook a review and due diligence of
industry association and memberships for alignment with our
Stakeholder Value Creation Metrics. No material misalignments
were identified. OZ Minerals has developed Membership Principles,
linking them to our existing Anti Bribery and Corruption Global
Process Standards which sets out our zero tolerance for donations
to political parties, organisations or any political official on behalf of
OZ Minerals.
4.6
Human Rights
At OZ Minerals, we aim to advance and promote human rights
throughout our value chain. We have zero tolerance of human
rights abuse and modern slavery and expect this of our Workforce,
Suppliers and partners. Our Human Rights Global Performance
Standard (ozminerals.com/en/how-we-work/performance-standards)
is guided by national and international guidelines, including:
› UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
› Universal Declaration on Human Rights
› Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VP)
› International Labour Organisations (ILO) Conventions on child
labour and freedom of association
› International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) Principles
› Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth).
In addition to our Human Rights Performance standard we also manage
human rights issues through dedicated actions for our workforce culture,
safety, heritage management and land disturbance standards.
Where issues arise with our Community partners, we have robust
processes to ensure these incidents are recorded, heard and responded
to in a timely manner. These include processes for assessing and
responding to human rights incidents, heritage incidents and
community grievances. For more information on these processes see
ozminerals.com/en/how-we-work/partnering-with-communities/how-
we-engage.
In 2022 there were zero significant/material human rights incidents
and zero significant/material cultural heritage breaches. One
grievance was recorded at Carrapateena relating to a concern
about an increased risk of Foot and Mouth Disease impacting
local pastoral operations due to the disease’s spread in Asia. The
grievance was responded to by being recorded in the Critical
Risk Management portal, a risk assessment was undertaken and
stakeholder communications were immediately initiated. This
included the development of an infectious diseases protocol which
was communicated to the workforce.
4.5.2 How we invested in 2022
Our social investment decisions expand our community efforts
beyond our immediate sphere of influence and allow us to develop
sustainable legacies. This year, we contributed a total of $1.58 million
in community support. We work to ensure that our decisions are
defined, driven, informed by the needs of the community and provide
long-term benefits. To learn more about how we invest in our
communities visit ozminerals.com/en/how-we-work/partnering-with-
communities/social-investment.
Our Educating the Next Generation Program was redeveloped in
2022. The Program reflects what is front and centre of our Strategy –
creating value for stakeholders – and through it, we have developed
a number of partnerships to support our Communities. The Program
now integrates OZ Minerals’ support through funding, internships,
STEM innovation projects and volunteer and mentoring opportunities
for our Workforce. The funding arm of this Program is being delivered
through partnerships with The Clontarf Foundation, Shooting Stars
and The Smith Family totalling $900,000 over the next three years as
well as an ongoing contribution to the Royal Flying Doctor Service of
$150,000 per year.
In 2022 we continued our COVID-19 Stakeholder Support Fund
established at the onset of the pandemic. This year, the Fund
contributed $150,000 to Foodbank SA for support of food security
and supply issues arising from the pandemic.
Additionally, ad hoc sponsorship initiatives are undertaken by the
Corporate centre and at each Asset. In developing social contribution
initiatives, we seek to avoid creating dependency. Instead, we strive
to support organisations or projects in achieving self-sustaining
outcomes so communities close to our operations benefit from our
presence. For more information on sponsorship guidelines, including
priority areas for support (ozminerals.com/en/news/sponsorship).

In 2022 we continued progressing our Modern Slavery Plan, which
included continuing high risk supplier due diligence and program
enhancements via capability review of existing training modules.
In 2022 we did not identify any direct instances of modern slavery
in our global Assets. OZ Minerals and multiple cross industry users
in Australia were indirectly exposed to modern slavery in the rubber
gloves supply chain in 2022. This exposure was a national issue
and triggered further due diligence in collaboration with impacted
suppliers (as distributors). This incident is currently being actively
monitored as part of our ongoing modern slavery program. For
further information on OZ Minerals’ approach to modern slavery,
see the company’s 2021 Modern Slavery Statement (ozminerals.com/
en/working-with-us/modern-slavery-statement). The 2022 Modern
Slavery Statement will be published later in 2023.
In 2022 the key human rights focus areas included an externally
facilitated audit of the threat of ‘Occurance of Human Rights Breach’.
This informed ongoing developments to the Carrapateena Human
Rights Management Plan. Brazil commenced human rights capability
enhancements including harassment, discrimination and First
Nations heritage. At the West Musgrave Project (WMP), whilst still in
greenfield state, the focus remained on cultural heritage approvals,
community and First Nations engagement ozminerals.com/en/where-

Together with our Stakeholders, we depend on the natural
environment. As a Modern Mining Company, we recognise our
global operations inherently impact the environment and our
Stakeholders. We remain committed to exceeding the expectations
of our Stakeholders through how we manage our interactions with
the environment, our practices and Standards, compliance with
statutory and regulatory requirements, reduction of our impact,
and regeneration and rehabilitation of the land and ecosystems
which support our business and our Stakeholders. For a detailed
overview of our approach to environmental management, see the
Environmental Performance section of our website.
No regulatory non-compliances were identified for the reporting
period at any of our operations, however a reportable spill occurred
at Carrapateena, a seepage of saline water which impacted
vegetation. This was reported to the South Australian regulator
consistent with statutory requirements.

Climate change, decarbonisation and air emissions
This section provides an overview of our 2022 performance and
activities. More detailed disclosures aligned to the Recommendations
of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
can be found on our website (ozminerals.com/en/how-we-work/
performance-standards/climate-statement).
5.1.1 Climate change & decarbonisation
Our Assets continued to execute detailed Decarbonisation Plans in
2022 to implement and deliver against our Decarbonisation Roadmap
(ozminerals.com/en/how-we-work/performance-standards/climate-
statement). At Carrapateena and Prominent Hill, progress has been
made on construction of the electric materials handling systems
and to execute trials of electrified concentrate haulage, loaders and
light vehicles (LVs) throughout 2023. Our Brazil team developed a
greenhouse gas inventory across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions2, from
which they developed a Decarbonisation Plan for their operating
context. In 2022 we announced FID to proceed with our West
Musgrave Project which will be one of the lowest emissions intensity
nickel mines globally.
Reflecting these developments, our Company Strategy was updated
to focus on Modern Minerals, uniquely placing us to capitalise on
the growing demand for the modern minerals that are integral to the
multi-decade electrification and decarbonisation transition (page 8).
In 2022, we revised our approach to climate risk management to
identify major enterprise risks for the Company, known as Context
Risks (page 30). Climate change, encompassing both physical and
transition risk (opportunities and threats), is identified as a Context
Risk, owned by the Corporate Affairs Executive. Transition risks are
managed by key Corporate roles including Sustainability and Strategy,
as well as dedicated Asset roles overseeing the implementation
of decarbonisation initiatives consistent with our Decarbonisation
Roadmap. Specific physical climate-related risks have been identified as
potential threats to our operational performance and are captured by
our Assets as Performance Risks.

We also undertook a climate risk assessment of the Basis of Design
for our Carrapateena Expansion. This builds on the physical risk
assessments of our Assets in previous years (see 2021 Annual and
Sustainability Report). The results of this assessment showed the
current design to be resilient to physical risks (threats) under extreme
climate change scenarios, with no Material threats identified 3.
To support delivery of our net zero commitments and potential
exposure to changing government policy settings, we have developed
an Offsets Plan. The Plan is centred on value creation for our
Stakeholders through the use of offsets and informs how we meet
our abatement requirements and ensure integrity. Key elements of
the Plan include working with Stakeholders to develop opportunities
for new offsets projects and building our offsets portfolio based on
our operating locations as well as other jurisdictions.
We have developed a Reduction Plan for Scope 3 emissions which
focuses on engaging our Suppliers and value chain partners,
including our Customers, to identify opportunities to collaborate to
reduce Scope 3 emissions.
In 2022, our total Scope 1 emissions were 95,387 tCO2-e, increasing
0.7 per cent from FY21, consistent with the expected trajectory
of our Decarbonisation Roadmap. Our Scope 2 emissions decreased
over the same period by 7.7 per cent to 230,651 tCO2-e, despite
an increase in energy consumption. This was largely due to a
significant decrease in the emissions intensity of the South Australian
electricity grid 4, attributable to increased renewable penetration
of approximately 67.5 per cent 5 in 2022.

We re-baselined our Scope 3 emissions in 2022 (Figure below), which
totalled 557,847 tCO2-e. This increase was due primarily to a greater
amount of smelting associated with our product. We also analysed
our purchased goods and services in more detail which led to higher
emissions for this category.
At the same time, we are on track to achieve several reductions in
Scope 3 emissions. Through moving to smaller aircraft for commuting
to our mines and scheduling enhancements, we are anticipating
a 45 per cent reduction 6 in emissions from our charter flights.
We have also made changes to our inbound logistics movements
at Carrapateena which we estimate has reduced Scope 3 emissions
by 10 per cent.

5.1.2 Air emissions
In 2022, Prominent Hill successfully completed trials applying dust
suppression additives to the site access road and underground mining
environment. In addition, speed restrictions were implemented along
sections of the access road stocked with livestock. Together, the trials
have reduced the impacts of dust on air quality on both the surface
and underground and on local livestock neighbouring the operation.
Our Australian Assets, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena, anually
report emissions of air pollutants via the National Pollutant Inventory
(NPI). In FY22, emissions of carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen
increased at Carrapateena, consistent with the increase in diesel
consumption, while the inverse occurred at Prominent Hill. No
emissions to surface water were identified at either Asset, while all
emissions to land (including groundwater) decreased at Carrapateena
and increased at Prominent Hill, reflecting the change in water
volume in tailings slurry at each Asset respectively.

Non-mineral & mineral waste
We have an Aspiration to eliminate waste from non-renewable
sources at our operations. Our Assets maintain Waste Management
Plans to manage non-mineral waste that are guided by the waste
management hierarchy of avoid, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover,
treat and dispose in accordance with our Non‑Mineral Waste and
Wastewater Performance Standard.
In 2022, Prominent Hill undertook an initiative to remove disused
infrastructure and equipment from site for recycling. This resulted in
an additional 327 tonnes of metal being recycled.
Carrapateena implemented timber and poly-pipe recycling initiatives
whereby timber is reprocessed into wood chips for landscaping,
and poly-pipe is granulated and supplied to manufacturers to be
remoulded into new products.
We produced 2,497 tonnes of landfill waste across OZ Minerals
Assets in 2022, slightly less than in 2021. We recycled nearly
2,700 tonnes of solid material, slightly less than in 2021.

Tailings
We recognise the importance of ensuring safe, long-term
impoundment of mine tailings and residues to prevent any
detrimental impact on the environment, downstream communities
and Workforce facilities. OZ Minerals is committed to aligning with
the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM). We
recognise that achieving alignment with the GISTM is a multi-year
journey and our Assets are developing their own plans reflective of
local requirements, regulations and our internal governance system.
We currently own and operate four active tailings facilities
(Table below) at Prominent Hill and Carrapateena in South Australia
and at the site of the Antas mine in the Carajás East Hub in Brazil.
In the Carajás Hub, tailings are now deposited in the depleted Antas
open pit. We currently do not have any closed tailings facilities.
Detailed information of our governance and management
approaches to tailings and detailed disclosures regarding our tailings
facilities can be found in the Tailings section of on our website

All Assets with active tailings facilities completed reviews against the
GISTM in 2022 to identify any gaps and pathways to alignment.
During the reporting period, Carrapateena completed stage two of
the TSF, consisting of a 14m downstream raise using approximately
1.6 million m3 of compacted mine rockfill. Stage two is expected to
provide adequate tailings storage capacity until 2028. At Prominent
Hill, the Tailings Operational Management Plan was reviewed and
updated and the stage six uplift design completed ahead of activity
planned for 2024/25. Geotechnical and geochemical investigations
at both Carrapateena and Prominent Hill confirmed tailings to be
Non‑Acid Forming (NAF).
In Brazil, activities focussed on decommissioning the Antas facility
through transferring existing tailings to the exhausted mine pit.
As a result, no continuous operational activities were undertaken.

› New Strategic Aspiration to eliminate waste and water from
non-renewable sources in all our processes
2022 SNAPSHOT
While water is essential to sustain our operations, we have an
Aspiration to eliminate water from non-renewable sources.
Our Assets design, construct and operate water consuming
activities and infrastructure with consideration to minimising water
usage, including the adoption of new technologies. Our Australian
operations are located in arid zones and rely on hyper‑saline
groundwater drawn from nearby wellfields. These Assets do
not draw from the Great Artesian Basin. Our operations in Brazil
are in high rainfall zones and use a combination of surface and
groundwater. None of our Assets are located in areas of extreme
water stress 9.

Land, biodiversity, rehabilitation & closure
Recognising the need to further integrate nature into decision
making, in 2022 we determined to implement the Task Force on
Nature-Related Disclosures (TNFD) framework over a multi-year
period, once the framework is finalised.
Our South Australian Assets have established Significant Environmental
Benefit (SEB) offset areas on nearby land parcels. As an example the
SEB area at Prominent Hill consists of a portion of the Mt Eba Pastoral
Lease and undisturbed areas within the Mining Lease totalling
approximately 12,415 ha (less project-related disturbances). The SEB
areas contain several threatened flora and fauna species listed under
State and Commonwealth legislation.
During the reporting period, regulatory approvals were granted
to disturb 5.23 ha of land at Prominent Hill, while 8.06 ha were
rehabilitated onsite following the demolition of several work
areas. In total, 10.2 ha was reseeded at Carrapateena with native
plant species.

BASIS FOR CONCLUSION
We conducted our work in accordance with Australian Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3000 Assurance Engagements Other Than
Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and ASAE 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements (Standards). In
accordance with the Standards we have:
›
used our professional judgement to plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance that we are not aware of any material
misstatements in the Selected Sustainability Information, whether due to fraud or error;
›
considered relevant internal controls when designing our assurance procedures, however we do not express a conclusion on their
effectiveness; and
›
ensured that the engagement team possess the appropriate knowledge, skills, and professional competencies.
SUMMARY OF PROCEDURES PERFORMED
Our limited assurance conclusion is based on the evidence obtained from performing the following procedures:
›
enquiries with relevant Company personnel to understand the internal controls, governance structure and reporting process relevant to the
Selected Sustainability Information;
›
reviews of relevant documentation;
›
analytical procedures over the Selected Sustainability Information;
›
walkthroughs of the Selected Sustainability Information to source documentation;
›
a site visit to Prominent Hill and remote discussions with Corporate Head Office (Adelaide), Carrapateena, and Brazil Assets;
›
agreeing the Selected Sustainability Information to relevant underlying sources on a sample basis;
›
evaluating the appropriateness of the criteria with respect to the Selected Sustainability Information; and
›
reviewed the OZ Minerals Sustainability Review & Sustainability Review Databook in its entirety to ensure it is consistent with our overall
knowledge of assurance engagement.
HOW THE STANDARD DEFINES LIMITED ASSURANCE AND MATERIAL MISSTATEMENT
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less in extent than for a reasonable
assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the
assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
relevant decisions of the Directors of OZ Minerals Limited.
USE OF THIS ASSURANCE REPORT
This report has been prepared for the Directors of OZ Minerals Limited for the purpose of providing an assurance conclusion on the Selected
Sustainability Information and may not be suitable for another purpose. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this
report, to any person other than the Directors of OZ Minerals Limited or for any other purpose than that for which it was prepared.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Management are responsible for:
›
determining that the criteria is appropriate to meet their needs and the needs of the Company stakeholders;
›
preparing and presenting the Selected Sustainability Information in accordance with the criteria; and
›
establishing internal controls that enable the preparation and presentation of the Selected Sustainability Information that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
›
maintaining the integrity of the website.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the Selected Sustainability Information for the year ended
31 December 2022, and to issue an assurance report that includes our conclusion.
Our Independence and Quality Control We have complied with our independence and other relevant ethical requirements of the Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Australian Professional and Ethical Standards Board and
complied with the applicable requirements of Australian Standard on Quality Management 1 to design, implement and operate a system of

Summary of significant changes since 2021
PROMINENT HILL
The Prominent Hill Ore Reserves increased as a result of the upgrading
of the Mineral Resource confidence due to the positive drilling results
and the favourable long term copper price assumptions. The increase
has resulted in an extension of the mine life.
Prominent Hill underground Mineral Resources increased due to
a combination of favourable drilling results and a lower effective
copper cut-off grade for the Mineral Resource. The Mineral Resource
cut-off grade change was mostly the result of a more favourable long
term copper price assumption.
CARRAPATEENA PROVINCE
The Carrapateena Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve decreased
due to the inclusion of data from a drilling campaign of ~40 kms
between July 2020 and June 2022 as well as mapping and sampling
information collected from underground development resulting in
refined interpretation and estimation.
Fremantle Doctor Mineral Resource decreased due to changes
in the interpretation, estimation technique and application of the
reasonable prospects to be aligned with selectivity of the block
caving mining method.
WEST MUSGRAVE PROVINCE
The 2022 Ore Reserve estimate increased by 17 million tonnes,
20 thousand tonnes of nickel metal and 30 thousand tonnes of
copper metal. The update is driven by favourable changes in the
processing cost based on increased processing plant throughput
and updated power cost assumptions, updated Mineral Resource,
metal payability, mining modifying factors and offset by economic
assumptions and logistics costs.
There has been 304 infill drillholes incorporated into the Nebo-Babel
Mineral Resource estimate since the previous Mineral Resource
update published in December 2020 as part of the West Musgrave
Project (WMP) Pre Feasibility Study Update (PFSU). Overall, Mineral
Resource tonnes, grade and metal have remained stable. A decrease
in the size of the optimised reporting pit shell, as a result of site
limitations, has been offset by favourable changes in the net smelter
return (NSR) cut-off value and changes in interpretation as a result
of drilling.
CARAJÁS PROVINCE
The Antas North Mineral Resource was reduced due to processing
depletion of stockpiles. The Pedra Branca Ore Reserve and Mineral
Resource were reduced due to mining depletion.
A new Mineral Resource was released for Pantera.
OTHERS
There have been no changes to the Mineral Resource estimates of
Santa Lúcia, Succoth, CentroGold or Chega Tudo throughout 2022.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group's current liabilities exceed its current assets by
$8.0 million. The Group's working capital, investing and financing requirements are being actively managed through operating cash flows and
utilisation of committed facilities.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the following items which are
measured at fair value, or otherwise, in accordance with the provisions of applicable accounting standards:

items of property, plant and equipment which have been written down in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Globally economies are experiencing high inflationary pressures as they emerge out of the COVID-19 pandemic; and commodity prices and
foreign exchange rates have been volatile. OZ Minerals' operations and project execution have been impacted by inflationary pressures, COVID
related absenteeism and supply chain disruptions.
On 22 December 2022, OZ Minerals entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with BHP Lonsdale Investments Pty Ltd ('BHP'), a wholly
owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, in relation to the proposed acquisition by BHP of all of the issued shares in OZ Minerals by way
of scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('Scheme'). The Scheme Implementation Deed permits, subject to certain
conditions, OZ Minerals to declare and pay OZ Minerals shareholders a special dividend prior to implementation of the Scheme.
Prior to the Scheme meeting (which is currently expected to be held in mid-April 2023), the Board intends to declare a fully franked special
dividend of $1.75 per share, such dividend conditional on the Scheme becoming effective. If the Scheme does become effective the special
dividend will be paid on the date the Scheme is implemented to OZ Minerals shareholders who hold OZ Minerals shares on the special dividend
record date. The special dividend record date will be three days before the Scheme record date, with both record dates currently expected to be
in late-April 2023.
As stated above, if the Scheme does not become effective the special dividend will not be paid. In that case, the Board will continue to consider
the payment of dividends against its current policy of paying sustainable dividends from pre-growth cash flow, after taking into consideration the
Company’s near term identified capital investment opportunities and maintaining a strong balance sheet.
There have been no other events that have occurred subsequent to the reporting date that have significantly affected or may significantly affect
the Consolidated Entity's operations, results of those operations or state of affairs in future years.

to customers in Asia, Europe and Australia.
Carajás
Mining ore containing copper and gold from the Pedra Branca underground mine and processing it at the
processing facilities located at the Antas mine which support the Carajás East Hub in Brazil. The Carajás East
Hub generates revenue from the sale of concentrate containing copper and gold to customers in Europe
and Asia.
West Musgrave
Development associated with the West Musgrave Project, a significant greenfield copper and nickel mining
and processing project located in the West Musgrave Mineral Province of central Western Australia. OZ
Minerals announced a final investment approval to develop the West Musgrave Project in September 2022.
Exploration & development
Exploration and evaluation activities associated with other projects, including exploration arrangements with
AIC Mines Limited (formerly Demetallica Ltd and prior to that Minotaur Exploration Ltd), Red Metal Ltd,
Mineral Prospektering i Sverige, Inversiones Mineras La Chalina S.A.C., Resolution Minerals Ltd, Black Tiger
Resources Ltd and corporate development activities.
The Company undertakes its own evaluation and exploration on tenements around existing operating and
development Assets, including at Mt Woods and the Stuart Shelf in South Australia, the West Musgrave
Project in Western Australia, the Carajás province, and the CentroGold project in the Gurupi province in
Brazil. A conditional binding Terms Sheet with Havilah Resources Limited was signed in 2022 setting out a
new strategic relationship in the Curnamona Province in South Australia including the option to acquire the
Kalkaroo project.
Corporate (corporate activities)
Other corporate activities include the Consolidated Entity’s group office (which includes all corporate
expenses that cannot be directly attributed to the operation of the Consolidated Entity’s operating
segments), and treasury activities.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF REVENUE
The Consolidated Entity generates sales revenue primarily from the transfer of concentrate to buyers (Primary Obligation) and in some cases,
based on the commercial terms of the contract, delivering it to customers (Secondary Obligation). The performance obligation to transfer
concentrate and delivery arises as and when a shipment is agreed with customers against ongoing short and long term supply contracts.
Revenue is allocated between the performance obligations and recognised as each performance obligation is met, which for the primary
obligation occurs when the concentrate is delivered to a vessel or location and for the secondary obligation, if applicable, when the concentrate
is delivered to the customer’s location. Revenue arising from the secondary obligation is immaterial to the Group and aggregated with
the primary obligation for disclosure purposes. The Group’s sale of concentrate incurs customary treatment and refining charges and other
commercial costs consistent with industry practice. These items are a deduction from the value of metal contained within the concentrate and
accordingly are recognised as a deduction from revenue.
As is industry practice, the Consolidated Entity typically makes sales whereby the final sales price for the primary performance obligation is
determined based on the market price prevailing at a date in the future, typically three months. Revenue for the primary performance obligation
is measured based on the fair value of the consideration specified in a contract with the customer at the time of settling the performance
obligation and is determined by reference to forward market prices. Provisional pricing adjustments, which occur between the fair value at the
time of settling the primary performance obligation and the final price, are also recorded within revenue.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of OZ Minerals Limited by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. The weighted average is determined by the total number of shares on issue less
treasury shares held by the Company throughout the period.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the amounts used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account dilutive potential
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential
ordinary shares.
3 Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax of the Consolidated Entity. Current and deferred tax expenses are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity as is appropriate.
Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets
The Consolidated Entity is subject to income taxes in Australia and of the jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Significant
judgement is required in the application of income tax legislation to determine the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions
and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain and for which
provisions are based on estimated amounts probable of being accepted by the relevant tax authorities. Where the final tax outcome of
these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provision
in the period in which the determination is made.
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits influence the ability of the Consolidated Entity to recognise (or continue to
recognise) deferred tax assets. Taxable profit estimates are based on estimated future production and sales volumes, commodity prices,
foreign exchange rates, operating costs, restoration costs and capital expenditure. A change in these assumptions may impact the amount
of deferred tax assets recognised in the balance sheet in future periods.
GROUP TAXATION
The Consolidated Entity’s principal operations are located in Australia and Brazil. Income tax expense, current tax and deferred tax balances have
been determined based on the tax laws and tax rates applicable in the relevant jurisdiction.
OZ Minerals Limited and its wholly owned Australian-controlled entities are part of a tax consolidated group. OZ Minerals Limited is the head
company of the Australian tax consolidated group. No foreign operating affiliates are consolidated for tax purposes.

The increase in non-deductible expenditure for the year ended 31 December 2022 compared to the prior year is predominantly due to the
increased exploration expenditure in overseas jurisdictions for the year.
UNRECOGNISED TAX LOSSES
A review of unrecognised tax losses was undertaken during the year and additional restricted tax losses of $16.5 million tax effected (2021:
$4.0 million) were recognised on the balance sheet. This is due to the increased taxable income forecast for future years, predominantly due to
the inclusion of forecast revenue of the West Musgrave open-pit mine, which began construction during 2022.
Restricted tax losses are subject to an available fraction, which limits the amount of loss utilisation each year. Australian restricted tax losses of
$126.5 million tax effected (2021: $143.0 million) remain unrecognised at 31 December 2022.
Capital losses of $648.2 million tax effected (2021: $648.2 million tax effected) remain unrecognised at 31 December 2022.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF INCOME TAXES
Current tax
The tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year, using rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustments
to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries where the Consolidated
Entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences, and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred
tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to utilise them.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted based on estimates of future taxable
income and/or capital gains against which the deferred tax asset could be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates applicable to each jurisdiction which are expected to apply in the period when
the assets are realised, or liabilities discharged. They are offset where they relate to the same tax authority and there is a legally enforceable right
to offset.
4 Dividends
On 22 December 2022, OZ Minerals entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with BHP Lonsdale Investments Pty Ltd ('BHP'), a wholly
owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, in relation to the proposed acquisition by BHP of all of the issued shares in OZ Minerals by way
of scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('Scheme'). The Scheme Implementation Deed permits, subject to certain
conditions, OZ Minerals to declare and pay OZ Minerals shareholders a special dividend prior to implementation of the Scheme.
Prior to the Scheme meeting (which is currently expected to be held in mid-April 2023), the Board intends to declare a fully franked special
dividend of $1.75 per share, such dividend conditional on the Scheme becoming effective. If the Scheme does become effective the special
dividend will be paid on the date the Scheme is implemented to OZ Minerals shareholders who hold OZ Minerals shares on the special dividend
record date. The special dividend record date will be three days before the Scheme record date, with both record dates currently expected to be
in late-April 2023.
Assuming the special dividend of $1.75 per share is paid, the consideration payable by BHP under the Scheme will be reduced by this amount.
OZ Minerals shareholders who hold shares on both the special dividend record date and the Scheme record date will receive total consideration
of $28.25 per share on the date the Scheme is implemented, with $1.75 being a fully franked special dividend paid by OZ Minerals and $26.50
being scheme consideration paid by BHP.
As stated above, if the Scheme does not become effective the special dividend will not be paid. In that case, the Board will continue to consider
the payment of dividends against its current policy of paying sustainable dividends from pre-growth cash flow, after taking into consideration the
Company’s near term identified capital investment opportunities and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

There were no realisable value adjustments made during the year (2021: $18.0 million increase to Inventories). All inventories at 31 December
2022 were held at cost (2021: at cost).
Net Realisable Value of Inventories
Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV).
NRV of ore is based on the estimated amount expected to be received when the ore is processed and sold, less incremental costs to
convert the ore to concentrate and selling costs. The calculation of NRV for stockpiles involves significant judgements and estimates in
relation to future ore blend rates, timing of processing, processing costs, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, discount rates and the
ultimate timing of sale of concentrates produced.
A change in any of these critical assumptions will alter the estimated NRV and may therefore impact the carrying value of inventories.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF INVENTORIES
Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs comprise direct materials, labour and a
proportion of overhead expenditure directly related to the production of inventories. Expenditure directly related to the production of inventories
includes processing costs; transportation costs to the point of sale; and depreciation of plant, equipment, mining property; and development
assets, the latter of which includes deferred stripping assets and mine rehabilitation costs incurred in the mining process.
Inventories expected to be processed or sold within 12 months after the balance date are classified as current assets and all other inventories are
classified as non-current.

(a)
During the year the Board approved the construction of the West Musgrave open pit mine, therefore West Musgrave exploration assets balance of $308.7 million was reclassified
to the property plant and equipment (refer to Note 8). This balance includes study cost of $92.2 million spent during 2022 prior to the final investment decision.
Borrowing costs relating to general and specific borrowing included in the carrying values of the assets is $9.8 million (2021:Nil).
Under the original terms of OZ Minerals’ acquisition of Carrapateena, in the event of production of rare earths, iron or any other commodity
except copper, gold and silver, a further US$25 million is payable to the vendor. No such production has occurred.
West Musgrave Project aquisition terms stated contingent payments up to an aggregated cap of $20 million are payable in two scenarios:
1. $10 million (or pro-rata) if OZ Minerals sells 30 per cent or more of the West Musgrave Project where the implied sale value for 30 per cent of
the Project exceeds $76 million and $10 million (or pro-rata) calculated at 20 per cent of the value exceeding the implied value.
2. $10 million if OZ Minerals sells 30 per cent or more of the nickel stream to a mining company which produces, sells or markets base metals.

West Musgrave Project aquisition terms also stated deferred payments for:
1. a production milestone payment of $10 million, payable 12 months after commencement of production from the West Musgrave Project.
2. a two per cent net smelter royalty payable from future production from the tenements within the West Musgrave and Yarawindah Project.
Above contingent payment and deferred payments are not recognised as liabilities as their payment remains wholly within the control of
the Group.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items and costs incurred in bringing assets into use. Carrying values include
borrowing costs incurred in relation to the acquisition of the item until the asset become available for intended use.
Expenditure associated with mining that relates to developing access to new sections of an ore body is capitalised as a mine development asset
and depreciated on a units of production basis as ore is extracted. When ore extraction and mine development occur concurrently, expenditure
is allocated between the cost of ore extraction (inventory) and mine development on the basis of the proportion of underlying activity; typically
metres advanced or material moved.
Mineral rights comprise identifiable mineral resources and ore reserves which are acquired as part of a business combination and are
recognised at fair value at date of acquisition. Mineral rights are subsequently reclassified as mine property and development once mine
development commences.
Mine property and development assets include costs transferred from exploration and evaluation assets and mineral rights once technical
feasibility and commercial viability of an area of interest are demonstrated. After transfer, all subsequent expenditures to develop the mine to the
production phase and which are considered to benefit mining operations in future periods are capitalised.
The present value of the expected cost of decommissioning, rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling of assets after use is included in the cost
of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision is met including revision to the expected cost.
Property, plant and equipment is tested for impairment when there is an indication of impairment. For the purposes of assessing impairment,
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount
by which the asset or cash generating unit (CGU) carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value, less the cost to dispose and its value in use. Assets that have been impaired are
reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date.
Value in use is the net amount expected to be recovered through cash flows arising from the continued use and subsequent disposal of an asset
(or group of assets). In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset.
The asset’s fair value less costs to dispose is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or cash-generating unit in an arm’s length
transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties, less the estimated costs of disposal.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the
asset in its highest and best use, or by selling it to another market participant who would use the asset in its highest and best use.
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimates
The estimated quantities of Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates are based upon interpretations of geological and geophysical
models and require assumptions to be made regarding exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and future
operating performance.
Changes in reported mineral resource and ore reserve estimates can impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, including
deferred mining expenditure; capitalised exploration; provisions for mine rehabilitation; restoration and dismantling obligations; and
recognition of deferred tax assets as well as the amount of depreciation charged to the income statement.
Changes in the carrying value of the assets may arise principally through changes in the income that can be economically generated from
each project. Changes in depreciation expense may arise through a change in the units of ore available for extraction over which property,
plant and equipment is depreciated.

Recoverability of Assets
Cash generating units are tested for impairment when there is an indication that the CGU may be impaired. Examples of impairment
indicators include the Group’s net assets exceeding its market capitalisation, unfavourable fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign
exchange rates, or a decline in the CGU’s operating performance.
The Consolidated Entity undertook a review of the Prominent Hill, Carrapateena, Carajás and Gurupi CGUs to determine whether there
was any indication that these CGUs had suffered an impairment loss. The Consolidated Entity concluded that there were no such
indicators that the CGUs were impaired at the reporting date.
When the Group reviewed impairment indicators, consideration was also given to the potential impacts of climate change in the
significant judgements and assumptions that may impact the CGU’s valuation in future periods, including:
›
expected future cash flows based on a range of factors including Board-approved internal budgets and forecasts which reflect
expectations of resources and reserves; present mine plans and expectations regarding regulatory approvals; short and long term
commodity prices and foreign exchange rates; and forecast operating and capital costs.
›
implications of climate change risks and opportunities on the CGU’s carrying value, including the transition to a low carbon economy
which may result in higher demand for the Group’s commodities due to regulatory, legal, technological, market or societal responses
to climate change. Long term changes in climate patterns could also cause adverse impacts on the Group’s operations with associated
cost and operational implications due to the increased severity of extreme weather events. The Group continues to monitor for new
factors and impacts as regulatory, technological and market responses to climate change evolve.
›
potential implications of carbon pricing and other climate related regulatory costs in scenario analysis.
›
the value of mineral resources not modelled in Board-approved budgets, based on the use of an appropriate resource valuation
multiple to the contained copper equivalent within the resources applicable to the CGU.
›
the discount rate applied to the cash flows which reflects current market conditions.
In addition, the Consolidated Entity monitors impairment indicators by considering the impact of the above judgements and assumptions
on the valuation of CGUs through periodic updates to its business valuation models.
Such assumptions are subject to variation as a result of changes in future economic and operational conditions. Consequently, the carrying
value of the Consolidated Entity’s CGUs may differ in future years if assumptions made do not eventuate and actual outcomes are less
favourable than present assumptions.
In considering the recoverable amount for the Gurupi CGU, the Group considers the likelihood that the historical injunction over
development of the CentroGold project will be removed in future periods. Having considered the applicable legislation, the status of
negotiations with local regulators and judicial precedents together with its external advisors, the Group considers that it is likely that the
injunction will be removed in future periods. Accordingly, the recoverable amount of the Gurupi CGU is based on an estimate of future
cash flows discounted to their present value, with the estimated future cash flows reflecting the prefeasibility study updated for current
inputs such as commodity prices, exchange rates and inflation. The status of the injunction and its potential impact on the Gurupi CGU
valuation is assessed each reporting period, and in the event the injunction is not removed in line with the Group’s expectations, absent
any other factors a downward adjustment to the carrying value may be required in future periods.

Depreciation of assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. The depreciation of mine property and development
commences when the mine is commissioned or deemed ready for use.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate. Where depreciation rates are changed, the net written down value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the
change in accordance with the new depreciation rate, with the change accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

8 Exploration assets
Carrying Value of Capitalised Exploration Expenditure
The accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement to determine whether future economic benefits
are likely from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of
the existence of reserves. In the event future economic benefits are unlikely or a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise
of economic reserves is not possible, an impairment test may be required which may result in an adjustment to the carrying value of
capitalised exploration expenditure.
The ultimate recoupment of costs capitalised for exploration and evaluation phases is dependent on successful development and
commercial exploitation or sale of the respective area of interest.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF EXPLORATION EXPENDITURE
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is recognised in the Income Statement as incurred, unless it is expected to be recouped through
successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or alternatively by its sale, in which case it is recognised as an asset on an area of
interest basis; or the exploration asset is acquired via an asset purchase or a business combination.
Exploration and evaluation assets are classified as tangible according to the nature of the assets. Exploration and evaluation assets are not
depreciated and are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity
relates. A CGU is not larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral reserves
in an area of interest are demonstrated, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and
then reclassified to mine property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
From time to time the Consolidated Entity enters into arrangements which enable it to secure the opportunity to explore and potentially earn the
right to mineralisation if discovered on underlying exploration tenements held by other entities (earn-in arrangements). Under these agreements,
OZ Minerals does not assume any liabilities or hold any rights to other assets that the holder of the tenement may possess. Expenditure is
accounted for under OZ Minerals’ accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure.

The right-of-use (ROU) assets include office space, mining equipment leases contained in mining service contracts, aviation equipment included
in air charter services contracts and powerline infrastructure. Corresponding lease liabilities are recognised within ‘Lease liabilities’ in the
consolidated balance sheet (refer to Note14).
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF ROU ASSETS
An assessment is made, at inception or when contract terms are changed, to determine whether the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is,
or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The
Consolidated Entity determines the consideration attributable to the lease or a lease component within a contract on the basis of the standalone
price of the assets for which a right of use is conveyed. However, for the leases of Powerline Infrastructure the Consolidated Entity has elected
not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
As a lessee, the Consolidated Entity recognises a ROU asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its
obligation to make lease payments. Short term and low value leases are expensed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a
straight-line basis over the life of the lease.
The Group recognises a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost (present
value of the lease liability, deemed cost of acquiring the asset and restoration or make good cost), and subsequently at cost less any accumulated
depreciation, impairment losses and adjustments for remeasurement of the lease liability. The ROU assets are depreciated over the life of the
lease. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments expected to be paid over the lease term, discounted using
the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the entity’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is
subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. The lease liability is further remeasured
if the estimated future lease payments change as a result of index or rate changes, residual value guarantees or the likelihood of exercising
purchase, extension or termination options.
Extension and Renewal of Lease
The Consolidated Entity has applied judgement to determine the lease term for lease contracts that include renewal options. The
assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which affects the measurement of
lease liabilities and ROU assets recognised.
Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held
are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain
to exercise the extension options. The Group also reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant
event or significant changes in circumstances within its control.
The Group has estimated that the potential future lease payments, should it exercise the available extension options, would result in an increase
in the lease liability amount of $105.4 million (2021:$69.0
million).

10 Provisions
Mine Rehabilitation, Restoration and Dismantling Obligations
The provision for mine rehabilitation includes future cost estimates associated with reclamation, plant closures, waste site closures,
monitoring, demobilisation of equipment, decontamination, water purification and permanent storage of historical residues.
Uncertainty exists as to the amount of rehabilitation obligations which will be incurred due to the impact of environmental legislation
changes and many other factors, including future changes in technology, adverse impacts relating to climate change which could impact
both the cost, extent and timing of rehabilitation, price increases and changes in interest rates. The calculation of these provision estimates
requires assumptions to be made as to the application of environmental legislation, the potential physical impacts of climate change, plant
closure dates, available technologies, engineering cost estimates and discount rates. A change in any of the assumptions used may have a
material impact on the carrying value of mine rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling provisions.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF PROVISIONS
Provisions are measured at the present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at balance sheet
date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the liability. The increase in provisions due to the passage of time is recognised in the income statement as a financing expense.
Provisions are made for the estimated cost of rehabilitation, decommissioning and restoration of areas disturbed during mining and exploration
operations up to the reporting date for areas not yet rehabilitated. Provisions for mine rehabilitation are based on the current estimated cost to
rehabilitate such areas, discounted to their present value based on expected future cash flows. The estimated costs include the current cost of
rehabilitation necessary to meet legislative requirements. Changes in estimates are dealt with on a prospective basis as they arise. The provision
is recognised as a liability, separated into current (estimated costs arising within 12 months) and non-current components based on the expected
timing of these cash flows.

Shares issued under the employee share plan are at no cash cost. Shares granted are valued on the grant date and the related expense of the employee earning the shares is
recognised as an expense progressively over the vesting period within share-based payment expenses.
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the number
of shares held. On a show of hands, every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote, and upon
a poll each holder is entitled to one vote per share.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF ISSUED CAPITAL
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown within equity as
a deduction.
Shares were issued but no shares were bought for the Employee Share Plan Trust to meet the Consolidated Entity’s obligation to provide shares
to employees in accordance with the terms of their employment contracts and employee share plans as and when they may vest, and are
classified as ordinary shares and are presented as an addition to the total equity.
The Company may also issue securities as consideration for asset acquisitions in lieu of cash. The fair value of assets acquired is measured with
reference to market observable prices adjusted for any matters specific to the arrangement. The value recognised as an increase in issued capital
reflects the fair value of assets acquired.
The increase in equity associated with shares issued under the DRP is measured as the amount equal to the cash payment the security holder was
otherwise entitled to, had the holder not participated in the DRP.

The total employee benefits expense for 2022 was $164.4 million of which $25.8 million comprised share-based payments (2021:
$133.5 million, share-based payment $13.4 million).
Performance rights granted under the employee incentive schemes do not include dividends or voting rights. All performance rights under
current performance rights offers are automatically exercised upon vesting which is dependent upon meeting both the service condition and the
performance conditions. When issued, the shares on vesting of performance rights rank equally in all respects with previously issued, fully paid
ordinary shares.
On 22 December 2022, OZ Minerals entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with BHP Lonsdale Investments Pty Ltd ('BHP'), a wholly
owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, in relation to the proposed acquisition by BHP of all of the issued shares in OZ Minerals by way of
scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('Scheme'). Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, all unvested performance
rights (other than performance rights granted under the 2023 LTI offer to Executive KMP) will automatically vest and be exercised, with one OZ
Minerals share issued per performance right. If the Scheme does not become effective, the unvested performance rights continue on foot on
their current terms. OZ Minerals must assess the likelihood of the Scheme becoming effective and the performance rights therefore automatically

payments have been calculated on the basis that the Scheme becomes effective and all of the performance rights (other than the performance

revision to original estimates recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The fair value of services received in return for share-based payments granted during the year is based on the fair value of the performance

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The fair value of share-based payment transactions measured at grant date are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding
increase in equity over the period during which employees become unconditionally entitled to the instruments.

If the employee does not meet a non-market condition, such as a service condition or internal KPI, any cumulative previously recognised expense
is reversed.
The fair value of the share-based payment transactions granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions at the time of grant and are
not subsequently adjusted. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of instruments that are expected to
become exercisable and are updated at each balance sheet date. The impact of the revision to original estimates for non-market conditions, if
any, is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Changes as a result of market conditions are not adjusted
after the initial grant date.
Risk management
14 Financial risk management
OZ Minerals’ Group Treasury Function (Group Treasury) evaluates and manages financial risks for the Group. The Board approves principles for
overall risk management as well as policies covering specific risk areas such as commodity markets, financial markets, counterparty credit risk and
liquidity risk.
This note presents information about the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets and liabilities, its exposure to financial risks, and its objectives,
policies and processes for measuring and managing risks.
The Consolidated Entity’s activities expose it primarily to the following financial risks:
›
commodity prices
›
foreign currency exchange rates
›
counterparty
›
credit
›
liquidity
›
interest rate.
The Consolidated Entity holds the following financial instruments
Carried at fair value using level one
valuation technique (based on share prices
quoted on the relevant stock exchanges)
Carried at fair value using level two valuation
technique (quoted market prices of copper, gold
and silver adjusted for specific settlement terms)
Carried at amortised cost
›
Investments in equity securities
›
Trade receivables
›
Cash and cash equivalents(a)
›
Other receivables(a)
›
Trade payables(a)
›
Other payables(a)
(a)
The carrying value of each of these items approximates fair value.
Recognition and measurement
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Consolidated Entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of an instrument.
NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Consolidated Entity classifies its financial assets as:
›
financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
›
financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
›
loans and receivables at amortised cost.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Trade receivables,
including those containing an embedded derivative, are carried at fair value.
Concentrate sales receivables are recognised in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria disclosed in Note 1. Provisional
payments in relation to trade receivables are usually due within 30 days from the date of invoice issue, with final settlement usually due within
90 days.
Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Consolidated Entity de-recognises a financial asset or a part of it when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the financial asset or part of it expires or, the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all
risks and rewards of the asset. On de-recognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount (measured at the date of
de-recognition) and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss
that had been recognised in equity is recognised in the income statement.
A financial asset measured at amortised cost is assessed at each reporting date as to whether there is any objective evidence of impairment
as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. An impairment loss is recognised for any
expected credit loss for the lifetime of the financial asset, accounted for at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
Credit losses are measured on the present value of all cash shortfalls between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract
and the expected cash flows.
In the event that an impairment loss is reversed, the asset’s carrying amount cannot exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the
impairment not been recognised. The amount of reversal is recognised in the income statement.

NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and net of directly attributable transaction costs. Trade and other payables represent
liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are
non-interest-bearing, unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Lease liabilities are recognised at net present value and
reduced by the actual payment made (refer Note 9).
The Consolidated Entity de-recognises financial liabilities when its obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the
carrying amount of the liability de-recognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the income statement.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to commodity price volatility on the sale of metal in concentrates such as copper, gold and silver which
are priced on, or benchmarked to, open market exchanges. OZ Minerals aims to realise average copper prices which are materially consistent
with the prevailing average market prices for the same period. The Consolidated Entity manages uneven exposure to price by managing
shipment schedules.
Commodity price sensitivity analysis
The analysis below reflects the impact of movements in copper and gold prices. Variations in silver prices have been deemed immaterial for
the purpose of this analysis. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the sensitivity analysis is on all financial assets and liabilities
deemed material to the Consolidated Entity.

Provisionally priced sales are those for which price finalisation, referenced to the relevant index, is outstanding at balance date. The Provisional
pricing mechanisms within the Consolidated Entity’s sales arrangements have the character of a commodity derivative. Trade receivables under
these contracts are carried at fair value through the profit and loss using a Level 2 valuation based on quoted market prices for copper, gold and
silver adjusted for specific settlement terms. The Consolidated Entity’s exposure at 31 December 2022 to the impact of movements in commodity
prices on provisionally invoiced sales was on both copper and gold. The Consolidated Entity had 38,000 tonnes of copper exposure and 28,000
ounces of gold exposure as at 31 December 2022 (2021: 37,000 tonnes and 30,000 ounces respectively) that was provisionally priced. The final
price of these sales volumes will be determined during the first half of 2023.
A 10 per cent movement in copper and gold prices which is based on reasonably possible changes over a financial year and reflects the variability
management applies in forecasting sensitivity. In accordance with accounting standards, the impact has been calculated on the outstanding
balance that is subject to commodity price risk and does not include the impact of the movement in commodity prices on the total revenue for
the year.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from assets and liabilities that are held in currencies other than the Australian
dollar (primarily United States Dollar and Brazilian Real).
The Group’s principal operations have a functional currency of Australian dollars. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of an entity’s functional currency requires management’s judgement and
considers a number of factors, including the currency that mainly influences revenue, costs of production, and competitive forces and regulations
which impact on revenue. In addition, consideration must be given to the currency in which financing and operating activities are undertaken.
All exchange differences that arise on translating results and the financial position of all entities within the Consolidated Entity that have
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are recognised as a separate component of equity in the Foreign Currency
Translation Reserve. When a foreign operation is sold a proportionate share of such exchange differences is recognised in the Income Statement
as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of financial
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the Income Statement. The carrying amount of the Consolidated
Entity’s financial assets and financial liabilities by their currency risk exposure at the reporting date are disclosed below.

At reporting date, if the foreign currency exchange rates weakened or strengthened against the functional currency by 5 per cent and all other
variables were held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s after tax profit would have increased by $14.1 million (2021: $12.1 million) or decreased
by $12.7 million (2021: $11.0 million) respectively. There would have been no impact to the other comprehensive income. The sensitivity analysis
includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items at the reporting date and adjusts their translation for a 5 per cent
change in the foreign currency rate.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
During the year, the Consolidated Entity drew down $825.0 million of the available revolving credit facility and repaid $450.0 million with an
outstanding balance of $375.0 million at 31 December 2022, and drew down $15.6 million of the West Musgrave syndicated term loan facility.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
Credit risk refers to the risk that any counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity.
Counterparty credit risk arises through sales of metal in concentrate on normal terms of trade and investment of cash.
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is managed by restricting financial transactions to relationship banks which have Board-approved
exposure limits and a minimum credit rating assigned by an internationally recognised credit rating agency.
Credit risk in trade receivables is managed by restricting trade credit to Board-approved exposure limits with customers that have a minimum
credit rating or trade credit that is secured by a letter of credit from a bank with an acceptable credit rating.

As there are a relatively small number of transactions, they are closely monitored to ensure risk of default is kept to an acceptable level. Sales
contracts generally require a provisional payment of at least 90 per cent of the estimated value of each sale either promptly after vessel loading
or upon the vessel arriving at the discharge port.

Three major customers (2021: three customers) who individually accounted for more than 10 per cent of total revenue contributed
approximately 92 per cent of total revenue (2021: 93 per cent). These customers also represent 99.3 per cent of the trade receivables balance as
at 31 December 2022 (2021: 99.5 per cent). There were no instances of customer default during 2022 and there are no significant receivables
which are past due at the reporting date.
LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity risk is the risk of encountering difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. OZ Minerals manages liquidity risk
by conducting regular reviews of the timing of cash outflows, the maturity profiles of term deposits and maintaining committed available bank
credit to ensure sufficient funds are available to meet its obligations.

LOANS AND BORROWINGS
The Consolidated Entity recognised the draw-down of its revolving credit facility and the specific term loan within the borrowings for the year.
Lease liabilities are recognised for any new ROU lease contracts as they are entered. When lease contracts are terminated or altered, the unpaid
lease liability and net carrying value of ROU assets are derecognised.

In May 2022, the Company increased its existing revolving credit facility of $483.0 million to $700.0 million with an extended expiry date of
25 May 2027 (31 December 2021: $483.0 million) subject to maintaining certain financial covenants. During the year the Company secured
$1.2 billion 18-month syndicated term loan facility to fund the mine development of West Musgrave project. Borrowings represent the drawn
down balance of the revolving credit facility and the specific term loan for the West Musgrave Project as at the reporting date. The Company
was not in breach of its financial covenants as at 31 December 2022.
The Lease liabilities recognised during the period include arrangements identified within certain mining services supply contracts of $63.6 million,
the powerline infrastructure agreement of $34.3 million, and other agreements of $0.3 million. The addition to lease liabilities corresponds to
the increase in ROU assets (refer Note 9).
Borrowing costs relating to major assets under development are capitalised as a component of the cost of development. Where funds
are borrowed specifically for qualifying assets, the actual borrowing costs incurred are capitalised. Where the projects are funded through
general borrowings, the borrowing costs are capitalised based on the weighted average cost of borrowing. Borrowing costs incurred after
commencement of commercial operations are expensed to the income statement.

15 Contingencies
Contingencies
By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more uncertain future events occur. Determination of contingent liabilities
disclosed in the financial statements required the exercise of significant judgement regarding the outcome of future events and the
financial results of OZ Minerals in future periods may be impacted unfavourably in the event of an unfavourable outcome of a number of
matters outlined in this note.
BANK GUARANTEES
OZ Minerals Group Treasury Pty Ltd has provided certain financial bank guarantees to third parties, associated with the terms of mining leases,
power infrastructure contracts, exploration licences and office leases, in respect of which the relevant entity is obliged to indemnify the bank if
the guarantee is called upon. At the end of the financial year, no claims have been made under any of these guarantees. The amount of some of
these guarantees may vary from time to time depending upon the requirements of the recipient. These guarantees amounted to $437.1 million
as at 31 December 2022 (2021: $436.2 million) and are issued under bilateral bank facilities that are rolled forward every twelve months.
DEEDS OF INDEMNITY
The Consolidated Entity has granted indemnities under deeds of indemnity with current and former executive and Non-executive Directors,
current and former officers, the former General Counsel–Special Projects, former Group Treasurers and each employee who was a director or
officer of a controlled entity of the Consolidated Entity, or an associate of the Consolidated Entity, in conformity with Rule 10.2 of the OZ
Minerals Limited Constitution.
Each deed of indemnity indemnifies the relevant director, officer or employee to the fullest extent permitted by law for liabilities incurred while
acting as an officer of OZ Minerals, its related bodies corporate and any associated entities, where such an office is or was held at the request
of the Company. Under these indemnities, the Company meets the legal costs incurred by company officers in responding to investigations by
regulators and may advance funds to meet defence costs in litigation, to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES
The Consolidated Entity has given certain warranties and indemnities to the purchasers of assets and businesses that have been sold. Warranties
have been given in relation to various matters including the sale of assets, certain taxes and information. Indemnities have also been given by
the Consolidated Entity in relation to matters including compliance with laws, environmental claims, a failure to transfer or deliver all assets, and
payment of taxes.
FORMER CAMBODIAN OPERATIONS
In 2011, OZ Minerals self-reported to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) that employees of Oxiana (Cambodia) Limited, a former foreign
subsidiary of Oxiana Limited that later became part of the OZ Minerals Group, may have provided benefits to foreign officials to obtain mining
rights in Cambodia contrary to applicable law. As OZ Minerals has previously disclosed, the matter has been subject to an AFP investigation.
The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions has informed OZ Minerals that it determined not to commence a prosecution against OZ
Minerals in relation to the matter. Proceeds of crime associated with the matter remain under consideration by the AFP and minor legal provision
remains in place.

17 Basis of consolidation
INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Consolidated Entity is capable of exerting control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when
it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power
over the entity. Where the Consolidated Entity holds less than a majority of the voting rights, other relevant factors are considered in assessing
whether power over the entity exists. Factors considered include any contractual arrangements with other vote holders, rights arising from other
contractual arrangements, as well as the Consolidated Entity’s voting and potential voting rights.
The Consolidated Entity reassesses whether it controls an entity if circumstances indicate that there has been a change in one of the
factors which indicate control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is assessed to exist until the date that control
ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Consolidated Entity. Intercompany
transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between companies controlled by the Consolidated Entity are eliminated
on consolidation.

The Company and all its Australian domiciled subsidiaries listed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for OZ Minerals
International (Holdings) Pty Ltd and ZRUS Holdings Pty Ltd, are party to a Deed of Cross Guarantee (‘Deed’).
The effect of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of the winding up of any of the

only be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not been paid in full. The subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in the
event that the Company is wound up.

Share based payments for 2022 have been calculated on the basis that the likelihood of the Scheme with BHP becoming effective is more likely
than not and all of the performance rights (other than performance rights granted under the 2023 LTI offer to Executive KMP) vest and are
exercised on Scheme effective date, with the cumulative impact of the revision to original estimates recognised in the income statement with a
corresponding adjustment to equity, as disclosed in Note 13.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF WAGES AND SALARIES AND SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting
date are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the
amounts expected to be paid, inclusive of on-costs, when the liabilities are settled.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Long-term employee benefits include annual leave liabilities which are expected to be settled in the period greater than 12 months from balance
date and long service leave liabilities. Other long-term benefits are recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected
unit credit method. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of
service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high availability corporate bonds with terms to
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
20 Related party transactions
A number of KMP, or their related parties, may hold positions in other entities that may result in them having control or significant influence over
the financial or operating policies of those entities. Where the Consolidated Entity transacts with the KMP and their related parties, the terms
and conditions of these transactions are no more favourable than those available, or which might reasonably be expected to be available, on
similar transactions to non-KMP related entities on an arm’s length basis.
During the year the Group did not enter into any related party transactions (2021: None).

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of OZ Minerals Limited
Report on the audit of the Financial Report
OPINION
We have audited the Financial Report of OZ Minerals Limited
(the Company).
In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Company is
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
›
giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at
31 December 2022 and of its financial performance for the year
ended on that date; and
›
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Regulations 2001.
The Financial Report comprises:
›
Consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2022;
›
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, Consolidated
statement of changes in equity, and Consolidated statement of
cashflows for the year then ended;
›
Notes including a summary of significant accounting policies; and
›
Directors' Declaration.
The Group consists of OZ Minerals Limited (the Company) and the
entities it controlled at the year end or from time to time during the
financial year.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing
Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section
of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial
Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
The Key Audit Matters we identified are:
›
Recognition and measurement of revenue
›
Recoverability of non-current assets.
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial
Report of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF REVENUE
Refer to Note 1 to the Financial Report.
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
As disclosed in Notes 1 and 14 to the Financial Report,
the Group’s agreements for the sale of concentrate may
provide for provisional invoicing based on commodity
prices at the date of shipment and an initial metallurgical
assay, with a subsequent adjustment at the end of the
quotational period to reflect the final commodity price
and final metallurgical assay.
This was a key audit matter as the provisional pricing
adjustments may represent a significant component of
revenue within the consolidated income statement. Also,
for sales where the final settlement price is yet to be
determined, the value of the provisionally recognised
revenue (and the associated outstanding receivable) is
adjusted based on the appropriate forward price.
Our procedures included:
›
We tested controls relating to the authorisation of new contracts and the
approval of amendments to existing contracts.
›
On a sample basis, we inspected the Group’s sales contracts and assessed
key terms of sale, including the basis for issuing provisional invoices and the
duration of any quotational period.
›
On a sample basis, we compared the provisional and final invoices raised
during the year to supporting documentation, including the results of
metallurgical assays, prevailing commodity prices and shipping terms.
›
We assessed the methodologies, inputs and assumptions used by the
Group in determining the fair value of trade receivables subject to
quotational pricing.
›
We recalculated the fair value measurement of trade receivables still subject
to quotational pricing adjustments as at 31 December 2022 using market
forward prices.
›
We evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures within the Financial Report
with reference to the requirements of accounting standards.
RECOVERABILITY OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS, INCLUDING
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT ($4,339M)
Refer to Note 7 to the Financial Report.
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
A key audit matter was the recoverability of non-current
assets, including property plant and equipment, given the
size of the balances and, particularly with respect to the
impact of the historical injunction restricting development
activity in the Gurupi cash generating unit (CGU), the
level of judgement applied by us when evaluating the
evidence available.
We focused on the significant forward looking
assumptions made by the Group, including future
commodity prices, operational and development
expenditure, reserve and resource estimates, discount
rates and matters relevant to permitting of mining activity.
We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior
audit team members in assessing this key audit matter.
Our procedures included:
›
Using our understanding of the nature of the Group’s business, we
assessed the Group’s evaluation as to whether there were any impairment
indicators relevant to the Group’s CGUs.
›
Specifically with respect to the Gurupi CGU:
–
We assessed the impact of the historical injunction restricting
development activity on the Group’s assessment of recoverable amount.
We read correspondence with the Group’s external advisors and relevant
regulatory bodies and used this knowledge to assess inputs into the
Group’s recoverable amount assessment.
–
We assessed the integrity of the model used to assess the recoverable
amount, including the accuracy of the underlying calculation formulas.
–
We assessed the Group’s discounted cash flow models and key
assumptions by comparing to business plans, prefeasibility studies and
resource and reserve statements. Working with our valuation specialists,
we independently developed ranges for key inputs such as commodity
prices, foreign exchange rates and discount rates and compared these
to the rates used by the Group.
–
We evaluated the Group’s sensitivity analysis in respect of key
assumptions in the models, including relating to the injunction, to
identify those assumptions at higher risk of bias or inconsistency in
application and to focus our further procedures.
–
We assessed the scope, competence and objectivity of the Group’s
external experts engaged to assist with the assessment of regulatory
matters and with the assessment of the recoverable amount of the
Gurupi CGU.
›
We evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures within the Financial Report
using our understanding of the matter obtained from our testing and
against the requirements of accounting standards.

OTHER INFORMATION
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in OZ
Minerals Limited’s annual reporting which is provided in addition
to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are
responsible for the Other Information.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other
Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or
any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the
Remuneration Report and defined sustainability information within
the Sustainability Review and our related assurance opinions.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility
is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the
Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report
or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we
have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to
the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE
FINANCIAL REPORT
The Directors are responsible for:
›
preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001
›
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation
of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
›
assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going
concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of
accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the
Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
FINANCIAL REPORT
Our objective is:
›
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report
as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error; and
›
to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when
it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of the Financial Report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of
the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/

Dividends
On 22 December 2022, OZ Minerals entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with BHP Lonsdale Investments Pty Ltd (‘BHP’), a wholly
owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, in relation to the proposed acquisition by BHP of all of the issued shares in OZ Minerals by way of scheme
of arrangement under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (‘Scheme’). The Scheme Implementation Deed permits, subject to certain conditions,
OZ Minerals to declare and pay OZ Minerals shareholders a special dividend prior to implementation of the Scheme.
Prior to the Scheme meeting (which is currently expected to be held in mid-April 2023), the Board intends to declare a fully franked special dividend
of $1.75 per share, such dividend conditional on the Scheme becoming effective. If the Scheme does become effective the special dividend will be
paid on the date the Scheme is implemented to OZ Minerals shareholders who hold OZ Minerals shares on the special dividend record date. The
special dividend record date will be three days before the Scheme record date, with both record dates currently expected to be in late-April 2023.
An interim dividend of 8 cents per share, fully franked was paid to shareholders on 16 September 2022.
Dividend payments
Dividend payments are credited directly into any nominated bank, building society or credit union account in Australia.
