The largest producer of copper in Australia is Bhp Group, driven primarily by its massive, world-class Olympic Dam operations located in South Australia. Olympic Dam is a colossal underground deposit and single-site processing hub that produces hundreds of thousands of tonnes of copper annually alongside valuable gold, silver, and uranium co-products. Following its strategic acquisition of Oz Minerals, BHP further consolidated its dominant position as Australia's premier copper mining powerhouse, operating multiple large-scale base metal assets nationwide.
