Site profile
How the operation fits Hancock's iron ore interests.
Operations
Roy Hill delivers more than 60 Mtpa and is connected to Port Hedland by a 344 km independently owned heavy-haul railway and a two-berth export facility at Stanley Point.
Ownership
Hancock Prospecting 70%; remaining 30% held through Marubeni, POSCO and China Steel consortia
Automation & technology
A mixed fleet of 78 large haul trucks has been converted for OEM-agnostic autonomous operation using Epiroc LinkOA, communicating with the Perth Remote Operations Centre.
Workforce context
Roy Hill supports thousands of operational, maintenance, rail, port, technical and village roles. FIFO remains central, alongside Perth-based remote operations and corporate functions.
Approximate regional coordinates only — not a site entrance, travel or navigation reference.
Financial context
Ownership matters when reading the numbers.
Hancock Prospecting is private and does not publish a complete standalone profit-and-loss statement for Roy Hill in the same way an ASX-listed operator reports segments. Roy Hill, the former Atlas portfolio and Hope Downs also have different ownership structures.
