    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

  • Speech Given by Mrs Gina Rinehart at the National Mining and Related Industry Day in Port Hedland on 22Nd November 2015
    Speech Given by Mrs Gina Rinehart at the National Mining and Related Industry Day in Port Hedland on 22nd November 2015 Welcome to this year’s national mining and related industries day! And, welcome to my home territory, the Pilbara! How exciting is it that the first ship for Roy Hill is sailing toward Port Hedland as we enjoyed the annual ball last night, and the first train of fine ores will be arriving into Port Hedland as we celebrate the national mining and related industries day together! Perhaps on Mining and Related Industries day and given we are meeting this year in the Pilbara, I should share a little of the story of my time as the Chairman of our Australian private company, Hancock Prospecting, which started as a West Australian pastoral and exploration company. Plus in more recent years, as chair of Roy Hill also. Despite what too many in the media inaccurately imply, Hancock Prospecting hasn’t always been the successful multi billions company it is today. The reality was we had many, many tough years. Mistakes made prior to my chairmanship left us with difficulties and liabilities we weren’t able to pay off for almost a decade, limiting our ability for exploration and investment and growth. Indeed, unable to pay all the government obligations on Roy Hill, we lost approx. half of Roy Hill. Media wrongly refer to the assets of the company then being worth billions of dollars, confusing then with now, even wrongly referring to a trust owning a minority interest back then being worth billions of dollars, whereas what was actually there when I took over the responsibilities of chair was a very different reality, the few remaining company assets were mortgaged to the hilt, or under legal claim or under threat of legal claim, liabilities and contingent liabilities, with cheques being written and left in drawers until the quarterly then small, royalty cheque arrived to cover them.

The deposit is located in the eastern Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 75 km north-west of Newman and will be developed using conventional drill-and-blast and load-and-haul mining methods. Ore will be processed at HD1. HD1 and Baby Hope are managed by Hamersley HMS Pty Limited (Hamersley HMS), which is a member of the Rio Tinto group (Rio Tinto). Scope This closure plan has been prepared to support the Baby Hope Area referral under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). This closure plan is designed to address the closure requirements for the Baby Hope deposit and associated infrastructure. Closure is assumed to include progressive rehabilitation that will occur throughout the life of the mine. The goal of mine closure is to relinquish the site to the Government. This closure plan has been developed to meet the requirements of the joint Office of the Environmental Protection Authority / Department of Mines and Petroleum Guidelines for Preparing Mine Closure Plans (2015) 1 (Closure Guidelines).
