Hancock Iron Ore

Our story

The world of iron ore is evolving, and so are we.

Atlas Iron and Roy Hill are joining forces to become Hancock Iron Ore – bringing together and building on our combined strengths of resilience and innovation.

This evolution ensures we continue to lead in an ever-changing landscape while delivering the highest standards in mining and operations. This is more than coming together under one name – it’s a strategic move to create a business that is ready for a quickly evolving future.

Hancock Iron Ore will carry forward the legacy of both companies while harnessing new opportunities to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders.

Our vision

“To be the best mining company for Australia.”

We’re positioning ourselves to deliver ongoing long-term value, setting a new vision through the expertise and dedication of the people who make us who we are. But we know progress doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we work side by side with our stakeholders to unlock the type of agility, resourcefulness, and performance the future demands.
