SYDNEY--BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP.AU) said its Olympic Dam copper, gold and uranium mine has been shut down because of power outages in South Australia state.

South Australia suffered a state-wide blackout on Wednesday because of storms and severe winds, and extensive outages are continuing on Thursday, electricity distributor SA Power Networks said.

"Following the loss of power in South Australia, Olympic Dam was able to safely shut down," a BHP Billiton spokesman said in an emailed statement. "Back-up generators are currently providing power to critical infrastructure and will allow a restart of operations when power is restored."
