  • Human Capital in the Human Resource Management Literature...11 2.1 Introduction
    ‘Human Capital Analysis’ Describing the Knowledge Gap in the Financial Investment Recommendation Process Using Human Capital Analysis Burcin Hatipoglu Industrial Relations and Organisational Behavior School Of Organisation and Management The Australian School of Business University of New South Wales Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2010 Abstract Describing the Knowledge Gap in the Financial Investment Recommendation Process Using Human Capital Analysis After 2000 we have witnessed corporate collapses and at the same time a decrease in the trust in the financial investment industry. More than before, individuals are finding themselves investing in the financial markets directly or indirectly. Now, unsurprisingly, they tend to seek more accurate information about the reality that will aid them in decision making and at the same time build their trust in companies. This thesis seeks to examine the extent to which human capital information is reported by corporations to the public and the extent to which human capital information is analyzed by equity analysts in their investment recommendations in the Australian Equity Market. Knowledge sharing is making investors more knowledgeable through communications, which results in better decision making. The thesis examines separately the reporting of human capital in human resource management literature and finance and accounting literature. The human resource management and sustainability literatures establish a positive link with better human resource practices and financial results. Several different methods have been developed for measuring the value of human capital in human resource management. In the finance literature financial models that are used for estimating future company performance, derive data from financial statements.

  • Roy Hill Celebrates Historic First Shipment
    10 December 2015 Roy Hill Celebrates Historic First Shipment Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd and Roy Hill Holdings Pty Ltd are pleased to announce the historic inaugural shipment from Port Hedland of low phosphorous iron ore from the Roy Hill mine on the MV ANANGEL EXPLORER bound for POSCO’s steel mills in South Korea. Mrs Gina Rinehart, Chairman of Hancock and Roy Hill Holdings Pty Ltd, said “The Roy Hill mega project is the culmination of hard-work from the dedicated small executive and technical teams at Hancock and more recently by the entire Roy Hill team.” “Given that the mega Roy Hill Project was a largely greenfield project that carried with it significant risks and considerable cost, it is remarkable that a relatively small company such as Hancock Prospecting has been able to take on and complete a project of this sheer size and complexity.” “The Roy Hill Project has recorded many achievements already and with the first shipment it will also hold one of the fastest construction start-ups of any major greenfield resource project in Australia. This is a considerable achievement, and although the media refer to a contractors date for shipment, it remains that the shipment still occurred ahead of what the partners schedule had planned in the detailed bankable feasibility study.” “The performance on the construction gives great confidence we can achieve performance as a player of international significance in the iron ore industry. To put the scale of the Roy Hill iron ore project into perspective in regard to Australia’s economy, when the mine is operating at its full capacity, Roy Hill will generate export revenue significantly greater than either Australia's lamb and mutton export industry or our annual wine exports.

  • Media Release 18 June 2018 OFFER TO
    Media Release 18 June 2018 OFFER TO ACQUIRE SHARES IN ATLAS IRON LIMITED Redstone Corporation Pty Ltd (Redstone), a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd (Hancock), is pleased to announce an all‐cash offer to acquire all of the ordinary shares in Atlas Iron Limited (Atlas) in which Redstone does not already have a relevant interest, at a price of $0.042 per share (Offer). The Offer represents a superior value proposal for Atlas shareholders relative to the previously announced proposal from Mineral Resources Limited (MRL Proposal). Specifically, the Redstone offer represents a 41% premium to the implied value of that MRL Proposal as at close of trading on 15 June 20181. As the Offer is all cash, it is not subject to variations in the price of any other listed securities and therefore provides Atlas shareholders with certainty regarding the value of the consideration which they are being offered. The Offer is unconditional other than for the usual “prescribed occurrences”, as detailed in the Bidder’s Statement released today. As such, Atlas shareholders should have a high degree of certainty that they will receive the Offer consideration for their Atlas shares, should they choose to accept the Offer. Importantly, the Offer is not subject to any minimum acceptance condition. The directors of Redstone consider that the all‐cash Offer, with its premium pricing and low conditionality, represents a significantly superior proposition to the MRL Proposal and that the Offer should therefore be viewed as a compelling opportunity for Atlas shareholders. Tad Watroba, Executive Director of Hancock, said that the Atlas’ assets have long‐term synergies with other assets in Hancock’s portfolio.
