Traditional Olympic Dam Miner

Welcome to Mining with Dan

Honoring the mine and stories carried through generations with authentic mining BOS protocol.

Workforce Culture Specialist

The Culture Expert from Olympic Dam

After 4 years underground, 4 different supervisors, and approximately 42,000 cups of instant coffee, Dave has become Olympic Dam's leading expert on workforce culture and emergency services advisor.

Whether it's solving operational challenges, providing unsolicited advice, or reminding everyone "that's not how we did it in 2022," Dave plays a vital role in keeping the site running and the tea room conversations alive.

Every shift, Dave demonstrates the core values of Olympic Dam: strong opinions, reliable rumours, and an unwavering commitment to standing in front of the crib microwave while deciding what to heat up.
