Rich in minerals, Australia is the world’s largest producer of iron ore, essential for steel production, and lithium, a key component in batteries.

While Canada’s economy has struggled to keep pace with its southern neighbor, its mining industry remains formidable.

The country’s mining sector has a combined market capitalization of $344 billion, making it the second-largest globally.

Canada, the world’s second-largest country by area after Russia, has vast natural resource wealth. It is particularly rich in gold, copper, nickel, and potash.

United States with miners totaling $228 billion and China with companies totaling $206 billion come in third and forth, respectively.
