Winston Score History

The full picture

OZ Minerals is an Australian mining company that digs copper and gold out of the ground. Its main operations are the Prominent Hill and Carrapateena mines in South Australia, plus the Carajás copper project in Brazil. Copper is used in electric vehicles, power grids, and electronics, so OZ Minerals sells mostly to industrial manufacturers and commodity traders around the world.

The company makes money by selling copper concentrate and gold as byproducts, with revenue tied directly to global commodity prices rather than fixed contracts. It operates primarily in Australia and Brazil, and with a market cap around $9.5 billion it is one of the larger pure-play copper miners listed in Australia. Its main competitive advantage is owning high-quality, long-life ore deposits, but because prices are set by global markets, a sustained drop in copper prices would directly hurt profits. The long-term growth driver is rising copper demand from the global energy transition, particularly electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure.
