Answer 6

Each Olympic medal must be at least 70mm across and 6mm thick. The gold and silver medals must contain at least 92.5% silver, and at least 6 grams of 24-carat gold must coat each gold medal. Bronze medals contain copper, zinc, tin and a very small amount of silver.

The Cannington mine site in North west Queensland provided the silver used for the production of the gold and silver medals. BHP Billiton mine sites in Chile provided the gold to coat the gold medals and the copper for producing the bronze medals.

302 gold medals will be made for the Beijing Olympics.
