The royalties from iron ore mine ventures in Plibara have contributed handsomely to the company profits. Of these the Hope Downs joint venture alone produced $700 million in revenue as it is now at full production. The Nicholas Downs manganese project and some coal mines are also part of the company portfolio in the Pilbara region.

The personal finances of Mrs Rinehart have risen based on the iron ore royalties that she inherited from her father. Her wealth was estimated at $4.75 billion in the 2010 BRW Rich List. This placed her below Frank Lowy the Westfield shopping center boss.
