Chairperson and CEO John Watson at the end of last week said capital and exploration spend for 2016 would be 25% lower in the 2016 financial year than in 2015, reaching between $25-billion and $28-billion.
“We expect further reductions in spending for 2017 and 2018, to the A$20-billion to $24-billion range, depending on business conditions at the time. With the lower investment, we anticipate reducing our employee workforce by 6 000 to 7 000.”
