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.
