BHP Glitters!

Anglo-Australian mining giant BHP Billiton once again proved its Midas touch on September 26 by announcing that yearly gold output at its Olympic Dam mine will be more than 10% greater than previously thought. That makes it one of the world's richest mines and pushed BHP stock up to a record as gold prices neared a 30-year high.

On September 28th, BHP closed at $78.60 per share.
