Ellison also referred to sky-rocketing growth from its mining services business that will make it Australia's biggest mining services provider next year. It increased headcount by nearly half last year as it also brings online its Onslow iron ore operations and expands its natural gas holdings.

Thanks for that link Veggie

i was surprised by that stat … MinRes a very astute growth company

I also like their strategy of future joint venturing in the value add, more risky chemical side of the business with key consumers (car companies), but the consumers will need to pay to build/operate the chemical side.

MinRes will stick to their knitting, namely mining and contracting for the related processing services of other big groups.
