Our portfolio of world-class iron ore operations located in West Australia's Pilbara region has a strong history of delivering reliable products for our customers in key international markets. As one team under Hancock Iron Ore, we have four operating mines: Roy Hill, Miralga Creek, Sanjiv Ridge, and Mount Webber, with McPhee Creek under construction plus a range of exciting development opportunities.

We deliver more than 70 million tonnes of ore each year through our own two-berth port facility at Stanley Point and the multi-user Utah Point in Port Hedland, providing the materials needed to foster global economic growth and development. Leveraging established infrastructure, including our processing plant and 344km independently owned and operated heavy haul railway, our operation oversees each moment from when ore is mined through to when it is shipped.
