A smelter in Broken Hill was closed down and all smelting operations were concentrated in Port Pirie. By 1934 Port Pirie had become the biggest lead smelter in the world as a result of the presence of the Broken Hill Associated Smelters (BHAS). Originally established in 1915, the smelter processed lead and zinc ore from Broken Hill.
