Fortescue Metals Group founder Andrew Forrest has lodged exploration applications over his cattle stations in the Pilbara region in Western Australia. The applications were lodged through Forrest’s investment firm Squadron Resources in July 2015. It is unclear whether Forrest’s aim is exploration or rather blocking access to the area for other mining companies.

Western Australian (WA) Mines Minister Bill Marmion has approved a request by the Cauldron Energy company, headed by entrepreneur Tony Sage. It will now be able to conduct exploration drilling for uranium on the "Minderoo" cattle station. The WA Mining Warden’s Court recently sided with the land’s owner, Fortescue Metals Group chair Andrew Forrest, in blocking the access. Onslow Resources had previously gained permission, with some conditions attached, to extract mineral sands at "Minderoo"
