Although the typical perception of an exploration camp is likely to be one of a rough and ready ‘bush camp’ set up on a dusty drill pad, that is certainly not the case at Hancock Prospecting’s Mulga Downs camp. Just 18 months on, the camp’s visual amenity now benefits from a range of greening measures which were initiatives of Hancock’s Executive Chairman Mrs Gina Rinehart AO.
While many companies appear with 100
per cent foreign ownership, one appears with zero foreign ownership, the private company Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd which is owned by Gina Rinehart. Hancock in turn owns the 70 per cent of Roy Hill Holdings Pty Ltd that is Australian owned.
A South West dairy company is looking to revive plans for a global expansion which could treble its production of milk. It comes after the company won a gong last week, with its Farm Fresh Milk named the most popular dairy product in the country in the prestigious Australian Grand Dairy Awards. It is believed to be the the first WA product to do so in the competition’s 23-year history. In 2014, the couple entered into a partnership with Hancock Prospecting’s Gina Rinehart, which enabled them to produce their premium product in larger volumes. Ms Daubney said the partnership worked like a “great big family”. “We now, through Mrs Rinehart and her other businesses, have a really wide network of people that can help us when we get stuck, and likewise, we try and help when they need milk,” she said.

The business was founded by the Daubney family in 1924 and is now operated by third generation farmers Mat and Sue Daubney. Mrs Rinehart entered a partnership with the Daubneys in 2014, to assist the family business to meet escalating demand. She said the People’s Choice Award was recognition for the efforts of the team and a reward for their commitment and dedication.
