BHP

Olympic Dam is part of BHP’s Minerals Australia Business which includes

operations in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and South

Australia, focusing on iron ore, copper, coal and nickel. Olympic Dam is one of

the world’s largest ore bodies with significant deposits of copper, gold, uranium

and silver. Employing more than 3,000 people, the scale of the Olympic Dam

orebody means it is a cornerstone of the resource industry and a generational

resource for South Australia. In FY16, Olympic Dam produced 203 kt of copper

cathode– the highest level of production since 2006 - and the operation is

currently in an exciting period of sustainable growth. Through significant

investment in infrastructure and with a move into the high-grade Southern Mine

Area, the Olympic Dam operation will underpin jobs and economic development

in South Australia into the future.

BHP is a world-leading resources company. We extract and process minerals,

oil and gas, with more than 60,000 employees and contractors, primarily in

Australia and the Americas. Our products are sold worldwide, with sales and

marketing led through Singapore and Houston, United States. Our global

headquarters are in Melbourne, Australia.

Our corporate purpose is to create long-term shareholder value through the

discovery, acquisition, development and marketing of natural resources. We do

this through our strategy: to own and operate large, long-life, low-cost,

expandable, upstream assets diversified by commodity, geography and market.

We are among the world’s top producers of major commodities, including iron

ore, metallurgical coal and copper. We also have substantial interests in oil, gas

and energy coal.

DTF also provides financial services to the community, covering asset and liability

management, collection of state taxes, insurance and superannuation.

DTF’s goal is to assist the government to improve the prosperity and wellbeing

of South Australians. To support this goal, DTF works together through five

objectives:

1. Trust and empower our skilled, diverse, flexible and committed people.

2. Promote sustainable State finances.

3. Deliver timely high-quality service to meet the needs of our clients.

4. Support responsible budget and financial management.

5. Collaborate to deliver high quality advice on economic, social and

environmental issues.
