Company Overview

For over 50 years Hancock Prospecting has been engaged in the exploration and development of mineral resources.

The company’s activities have focused predominately on the delineation and development of prospects from within its world class iron ore portfolio in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and adding to that portfolio, such as Roy Hill, where the company has and will continue to make substantial investments.

Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd has entered into three State Agreements for iron ore, and is currently preparing to enter a fourth State Agreement for its Roy Hill project.

Hancock Prospecting also holds tenements in Queensland where significant resources of thermal coal have been identified.

During 2007 Hancock Prospecting formed the Jacaranda Alliance Joint Venture with a company established by former group executives of CRA / Rio Tinto to explore for minerals and petroleum in Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and South East Asia.

This exciting venture takes Hancock into prospects in Uranium, Molybedenum, Lead / Zinc, Gold, Diamonds and Petroleum.

The company group headquarters (including for the Jacaranda Alliance) are located in the company’s building “HPPL House” in Perth, Western Australia, with a representative office established in Brisbane and exploration camps located in the Pilbara.
