On the Aug. 18 FY2026 results call, BHP CEO Brandon Craig responded to market
reports linking the group to NexGen Energy’s Saskatchewan uranium project,
saying uranium at BHP is primarily a by‑product of Olympic Dam and the company
represents about 5% of the global uranium market. He said BHP’s near‑term
priority is managing existing businesses and concentrating investment on four
core commodities, with a particular emphasis on copper growth projects in South
Australia, Argentina and Chile. Craig said BHP will only reassess expanding its
uranium exposure after those core investments are delivered. He declined to
comment on speculation about exploring other Canadian uranium projects but said
the group will continue to study potential opportunities in other commodities
and is satisfied with its four core categories.
