BHP Billiton Limited
(ASX:BHP) says the toxic products from its Olympic Dam expansion can be safely transported. That’s according to Fairfax Media.
The comments come in response to the spilling of toxic copper concentrate owned by OZ Minerals Limited
(ASX:OZL) on Tuesday.
BHP wasn’t involved in the spill, but intends on using the same rail route.
The toxic spill was the result of bad weather, causing the freight train to derail near Katherine.
BHP Billiton posted a net profit of $22.3 billion in the 2011 financial year.
