I have been doing a little digging around and it appears in the WA Mines database that Rio was not too happy about losing E47/1904 to HEM.
According to the database, Rio's wholly owned company objected to the tenement going to HEM, but then later withdrew the objection...
One would hazard a guess they know there is a nice chunk of Iron Ore on the tenement. If any knows any more, it would be appreciated.
