    Question

    James Gurry asked how South Australia's power situation impacts the Olympic Dam expansion, whether the Escondida strike affects the Spence growth project, and if a joint venture partner for the Jansen project is still being considered.

    Answer

    CEO Andrew Mackenzie addressed each point directly. He stated a major Olympic Dam expansion is contingent on securing reliable and affordable power, which is not currently available. He confirmed there is no link between the Escondida strike and the Spence project, which has a separate, amicable labor agreement. Finally, he said a JV for Jansen remains an option, but attracting partners is difficult without a clear project sanction date.
