力拓（Rio Tinto）銅業部門負責人安德魯．哈丁對旗下位於美國猶他州的科力托銅礦頗為自豪。按照他的說法，這個直徑將近5公里，深度達1300多米的露天銅礦，是可以在太空中肉眼可見的極少數人造奇跡之一。6 L* B4 v+ f8 Q+ ^( y
2 Q7 H/ Q1 f; Q
對於廣大沒機會上太空的人來說，想看到這個著名的“草帽坑”，借助電子地圖自然是望梅止渴的選項之一。如果只觀其神不計其形的話，在即將舉行的倫敦奧運會上盯住領獎台，也能見識到科力托銅礦的蹤影——力拓為倫敦奧運會和殘奧會提供金屬原材料，用以打造4700枚金牌、銀牌和銅牌。這些變成獎牌的金屬取自科力托銅礦，以及力拓在蒙古的奧尤陶勒蓋項目。公仔箱論壇& Z* z  l+ j* z" Y0 }

雖然在倫敦股市上，力拓的股價在過去12個月裡下跌了大約18%，但這並不妨礙公司拿出8噸金屬來打造“史上最貴的獎牌”。力拓贊助的倫敦奧運會金牌重量約400克，直徑85毫米，厚度有7毫米，在重量和體積上都創造了夏季奧運會的歷史之最。這樣沉甸甸的傢伙，不禁讓人為那些“多金王”選手的頸椎感到擔心。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。2 D" V- C" ]. b# g7 B3 U1 c# y

當然，由於每塊金牌都凝結著更多的競技含義和社會價值，因此金屬成本可能只是其百分之一。比如一個多月前烏克蘭運動員克里琴科為籌集善款拍賣他在1996年亞特蘭大奧運會上贏得的重量級拳擊金牌，就拍出了100萬美元的天價。

* q0 a0 I. `0 B1 [0 y公仔箱論壇因此，對於力拓這樣的公司來說，贊助奧運更多的是一場維護公司形象的行動，是一場不得不打的“戰爭”。比如四年前北京奧運會的時候，必和必拓掏出真金白銀做獎牌，就是想改善其在中國貪婪的印象。而力拓兩年多前“間諜門”的負面影響至今也尚未完全消散，他們於是希望奧運賽場上瀰漫的激情能加速負面記憶的蒸發速度。
