Tour of the Mine |
As part of Roxstop, a small number of people engaged the local commercial operator to undertake a tour of the Olympic Dam mine site and facilities.
or consult with ROXSTOP organisers.
Of particular note throughout the facility is the lack of radiation signs.
Underground mine entrance.
Apparently, we could not visit the tailings dam as the traffic made it dangerous (!!??!!) for the bus......perhaps it might be because they realised that a highly qualified hydrogeologist and international radiation expert were present ???
New ore haulage shaft.
