BHP is preparing for a multi-billion-dollar underground expansion at its Olympic Dam copper mine in South Australia, using block cave mining to access more ore. This method allows cost-effective extraction of lower-grade ore by letting the rock above collapse progressively. The new block cave resource significantly increases the copper resource base, supporting BHP's long-term Australian copper growth strategy. Despite a 19% drop in copper output in the September quarter due to operational challenges, BHP maintains its full-year production guidance of 1.65 to 1.8 million tonnes.
BHP's Olympic Dam expansion plans provide context for Basic Materials sector activity on Pluang. As of Oct 20, 2026 07:11 WIB, 30 of 83 Basic Materials stocks rose while 51 fell.
