Located 560 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia, Olympic Dam is a multi-mineral ore body. It is the world's fourth largest remaining copper deposit, fifth largest gold deposit and the largest uranium deposit. It also contains significant quantities of silver.

Olympic Dam's copper production is sold to customers in Europe, Australia and Asia under contracts which are negotiated annually with pricing based on the LME cash settlement price. Olympic Dam has long term contracts for the sale of uranium oxide concentrates to customers in the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada, the United States and Spain. Gold and silver, also produced at Olympic Dam, are sold to the Perth Mint, Australia. #Australia #Belgium #BHP #Billiton #Canada #Chimney #Dam #Finland #France #Gold #Industrial #Industry #Japan #Mine #Mining #Olympic #Outback #Silver #South #South_Korea #Spain #Sweden #Taiwan #Tower #United_Kingdom #United_States #Uranium #USA
