Olympic Dam, located in the northeastern region of South Australia (postcode 5725), is a remote and sparsely populated suburb primarily known for hosting one of the world's largest mining operations. The site is home to the Olympic Dam mine, a major producer of copper, uranium, gold, and silver, operated by BHP. The area is characterized by arid landscapes and is situated approximately 560 kilometers north of Adelaide. Due to its industrial focus, the suburb has limited residential development, with most infrastructure supporting the mining activities. Despite its isolation, Olympic Dam plays a significant role in Australia's mining industry and global resource supply.
