Invest like the rich is advice, which nearly always works, because most rich people have a knack for growing their fortunes – something small investors can learn from the latest financial adventures of three mining billionaires. Amassing a collective fortune of more than $65 billion, Gina Rinehart, Andrew Forrest and Chris Ellison have generated the bulk of their wealth in the iron ore mines of WA. Rinehart leads the way on the Bloomberg billionaires list with an estimated net worth of $35 billion. Forrest is said to be worth $31 billion, while Ellison has just joined the ranks of Australia’s “billies” with a modest $1.5 billion.
Iron ore development in Western Australia is drawing attention thanks to big moves made by Hancock Prospecting and BHP. Hancock Prospecting executive chair Gina Rinehart has shown that her recent investments in gas and critical minerals have not shifted her presence in the iron market. Rinehart has fully united both Roy Hill and Atlas Iron under one roof thanks to an initial deal struck in 2018. The new conglomerate will see Roy Hill chief executive Gerhard Veldsman become CEO of group operations at Hancock. The new title will come with added responsibility for Roy Hill and Atlas Iron operations, as well as other projects.

Mrs Rinehart and Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd have been made aware of fake social media posts and associated news stories alleging that Mrs Rinehart has invested into a new automated trading platform.
Mrs Rinehart has not made the alleged investment or recommendations or quotes set forth in these adverts. This is a scam designed to use Mrs Rinehart’s positive corporate image to lure people in to invest.
Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting has moved to shake up the leadership team behind its money-spinning iron ore interests in the Pilbara. The company said the restructure would form part of its push to significantly increase annual exports in coming years. “With planned growth in scale from 60 million tonnes to 100mt, along with increasing complexity of the Roy Hill rail and port logistics system, Hancock will establish two new key roles to come into effect from January 30 — CEO group projects and CEO group operations,” Hancock said.
The chief executives leading Atlas Iron and Roy Hill will be bumped up to new overarching roles within the broader Hancock Prospecting group as it moves on big growth plans for iron ore. Gina Rinehart’s private business announced today that two new roles would be created in light of the ‘growing complexity’ rail and port systems within Roy Hill and bigger plans to lift production from 60mtpa to 100mtpa.
Australia’s richest person Gina Rinehart will end up with roughly 10% of Arafura Rare Earths Ltd by pumping a massive $60 million into the rare earths developer, underlining the excitement around the development of its Nolans Project. The iron ore magnate, whose private company announced a massive $5.8 billion profit last week and spearheaded the construction of the US$7 billion Roy Hill iron ore mine, will tip in almost half of the $121 million firmly committed to a placement to accelerate the Nolans’ development schedule.
Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting has become the latest mining major to join the queue in rare earths, taking a 10 per cent stake in Northern Territory hopeful Arafura Rare Earths. Hancock has taken a cornerstone $60m stake in Arafura as part of a $121m placement at 37c, which will eventually give Ms Rinehart’s family company a stake worth about 10 per cent of the rare earth project developer.
It was a fantastic night for all of the rowing community to come together and celebrate the successes from the 2022 season at the Hancock Prospecting Rower of the Year Awards held in Penrith, NSW on Friday 2 December 2022. Rowing Australia President, Rob Scott also added, “I also want to reiterate that we continue to be grateful for the ongoing support of everyone in our sport that enables us to succeed. From our fantastic sponsors, which includes the vital support of Hancock Prospecting, to our selfless rowing community. Congratulations to all our award winners.”
Gina Rinehart has moved to shake up the leadership team behind her money-spinning iron ore interests in the Pilbara. Mrs Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting will reportedly install a single boss to oversee both her Roy Hill and Atlas Iron interests, with current Roy Hill chief executive Gerhard Veldsman to become chief executive of group operations. The changes will take effect from the end of January. Cashed-up Hancock has also been busy shoring up its interests away from iron ore, with big plays in the gas and rare earths industries. Hancock is now the frontrunner in an intensified bid for Warrego Energy after gazumping an offer from fellow suitor Beach Energy.
