Monsters of Rock: Rinehart is all dressed up to rock Pilbara iron ore expansion
It’s no secret Gina Rinehart’s move on Atlas Iron a few years ago has been a good marriage for both, giving Hancock Prospecting a portfolio of close to shovel ready iron ore resources to plunder with the capital backing the junior didn’t have when it was a listed company.
