September of that year saw the discovery of the high grade hematite ore body at Mount Tom Price and the subsequent formation of two public companies, Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd and Hamersley Holdings Ltd. In 1967 a 10% interest in the company was offered and the group became a public company. The project has involved the development of infrastructure including 182 miles of railway, port and township facilities. The company continues to operate its major mine sites, associated joint ventures and research and development projects.
