i looked at the map , but also remembered what OZL produced compared to the minerals/co-products from Olympic Dam and Oak damHave a look at the map. Oz Mineral's properties and BHP's Olympic and Oak Dams are a localised regional operation. Conceivably one operation can have a shutdown with others taking up the slack? OZL I believe produced a concentrate wheras O.D has the full kit, right through to refining copper - could be advantages there. Olympic Dam smelting and refining is on an expansion path (1) Presumably personnel efficiencies from the amalgamation. Trucks, mining fleet, workshops - might be efficiencies there.
(1) "BHP Group is continuing to push ahead with the expansion of its copper smelter and refinery at Olympic Dam in South Australia"
They won't be processing BHP ore. They'll be doing what they were doing pre takeover.
Travel ...@qldfrog, I've been thinking about you and I think there's a deeper unexamined sub-conscious issue. As we age we all feel 'depleted' and this feeling can project onto the external world. This morose and gloomy outlook that things are running out can be addressed directly:

The only issue is that there were similar talks when i first started working with bhp..2 decades agoTo be frank I took little from this besides an impression that Olympic Dam is vast and special and has origins in the clash of tectonic plates, super volanoes and hydrothermal fluids dissolving minerals from the rocks. Clip is from the channel of an Australian geologist and enthusiast. Might be if interest to anyone that follows geological processes.

Went goat shooting that way when a teenager, with my dad & his mates. Get them young, and the meat is delicious.
BHP Group (BHP) $45.96 |
The “Big Australian” has surged more than +20% over recent weeks, reclaiming its mantle from CBA as Australia’s largest listed company. We topped up our holding when the stock was trading around $40. Similarly, we may trim back into strength, but we aren’t in a hurry given BHP is set to be a big beneficiary if Chinas massive stimulus efforts underpin a resumption of sustainable growth, particularly in Chinese property markets. BHP is the lowest-cost iron ore producer in Australia, with unit costs well below $US20/MT, leaving plenty of meat in the sandwich with the bulk commodity above $US100/MT. If buying into dips, we see strong support in the $44 area.
