BHP Billiton adopts VULCAN for Olympic Dam expansion

Clipped to the Drawing Board by John Chadwick

BHP Billiton has adopted VULCAN for the Olympic
Dam Expansion project (ODX) in South Australia’s far
north. This project will be the largest open pit mining
operation in Australia, rivalling BHP Billiton’s giant
Escondida copper mine in northern Chile, which also
uses VULCAN.
