Olympic Dam is a copper mine. Palabora is a copper mine

[@Bruvva_Wu]

Polymetallic mines. Copper is pure profits for Olympic Dam, the U and Au cover mining costs.

[@RT-gq3bh]

I disagree on the uranium. They only recover uranium because it is mixed with the copper and they can’t put uranium in the Tailings Storage Facility. I think at best they break even on the uranium sales versus the cost to recover the uranium. Note the two disastrous fires in the uranium recovery section.

[@ARNJackson]

Agreed, the U is certainly just a byproduct in both of these.
