leading global companies , the top ten includes the leading producers of gold and iron ore , alongside the world ’ s largest government-owned mining corporation . With operations primarily based in Canada , South Africa , Australia , China , Russia , South America and the US , the performance of the top ten has been boosted by a boom in spending on green infrastructure , in China and across the US and Europe .
