Holding steady in the number one spot , BHP ’ s revenue more than doubled between 2004 and 2014 , growing from US $ 24.9bn to US $ 52.1bn , but decreased to US $ 42.9bn in 2020 . Its primary focus is on metals and mining operations . With iron ore prices back above US $ 170 a tonne , top producers like BHP have seen a boost to revenues . Meanwhile , the world ’ s biggest miner is mulling over a partnership with Nutrien in its massive Canadian potash venture , which has already seen investment hit US $ 4.5bn . BHP is also leading efforts to help mitigate emissions in the steel industry through a partnership with HBIS and partnering with Rio Tinto and Vale in launching the Charge On Innovation Challenge to reduce mining truck emissions via electrification .
