Copper output resuming at Oz Minerals copper mine

SYDNEY, Oct (Shenzhen: 000069.SZ - news) 13 (Reuters) - Australia's Oz Minerals Ltd on Thursday said production was resuming at its Prominent Hill copper mine, two weeks after a storm knocked out power.

"Full production at OZ Minerals (Dusseldorf: OXR.DU - news) ' Prominent Hill mine is resuming following the restoration of grid power to the site," it said in a statement

The mine in South Australia state along with the neighbouring Olympic Dam mine owned by BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL - news) , were crippled when severe lightening storms caused a statewide blackout on Sept. 28.

BHP has yet to say when the 203,000-tonnes-per-year Olympic Dam mine will resume production.

Power company ElectraNet has said industrial customers now have full load levels available to them.
