BHP Group Limited has announced a major logistics partnership with Aurizon, valued at approximately A$1.5 billion, to support its copper operations in South Australia over the next decade. The collaboration involves an integrated rail, road, and port logistics solution, shifting the transport of copper concentrate and cathode from the Olympic Dam, Carrapateena, and Prominent Hill mines to rail between Pimba and Port Adelaide. The road transport component between Pimba and the mine sites will be handled by South Australian business Symons Clark Logistics, sub-contracted by Aurizon. This initiative is expected to reduce transport emissions and road congestion, enhance road safety, and create local business opportunities, while supporting South Australia's significant copper resources and their role in the global energy transition.
