Latest News About Gina Rinehart Alberta Coal Project

Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting has a connection to the Grassy Mountain coal project in Alberta, which was approved by the Alberta Energy Regulator in 2025 for permitting and deep drilling activities. The project also obtained a temporary diversion license. The mine is expected to produce approximately 4.5 million tonnes of steelmaking coal every year on 2,800 hectares of land. This project has its roots in Northback Holdings, which was previously known as Riversdale/RBaenga Mining, and has had to navigate through regulatory challenges, including a 2021 Alberta review.
