ABB’s Highest Payload Production Hoist
Prominent Hill, BHP
• BHP (previously OZ Minerals’) gold, silver, and copper mine began operations in 2009 as an open-pit mine. Now an underground mine producing over 4.5 Mt/y via a trucking operation, hoisting will provide access to resources outside the current trucking plan that would have been uneconomical from around 2033.
