At the 2012 Association of Mining & Exploration Companies (AMEC) congress in Perth, a new award was announced by mining heiress Gina Rinehart. It was to be handed to the identity in the resources sector who did the most to counter attacks by parts of the media, and to voice uncomfortable truths in public. However, the $A50,000 in prize money was not paid in 2013, and nor will the upcoming 2014 AMEC event feature the award. Instead Rinehart gave the funds in November 2013 to fellow billionaire Len Buckeridge, at a National Mining and Related Industries Day ceremony in Brisbane
