GINA Rinehart has poured some of her iron ore riches into efforts by
hardy explorer Lakes Oil to unlock the unconventional gas potential of

by taking up a placement of converting notes from the shortfall to
Lakes' recent capital raising, giving the iron ore baroness an 18.6 per
cent (diluted) interest in Lakes.
