Mining major BHP on Wednesday announced that some A$25-million of the A$50-million set aside for its Vital Resources Fund since it was established in late March has over the past six weeks been committed to organisations and programmes across Australia in the areas of health, education and community resilience. “We established the BHP Vital Resources Fund to support our regional communities during Covid-19. In just six weeks we have committed half the funding to 46 projects across Australia,” acting president operations minerals Australia, Edgar Basto, said.
