Leading global metals miner Zijin has been ranked No. 181 on the 2026 Forbes Global 2000, a list of the world’s largest public companies released on June 24. The company jumped 70 places from the previous year to join the top 200. Within the mining industry, Zijin ranked third among global metals and mining companies and retained its position as the world’s top gold mining company.

Two Zijin-controlled firms also made their debut on the list. Zijin Gold International—the company’s overseas gold mining arm—ranked No. 1,111, while Zangge Mining—a lithium, potash and copper producer—came in at No. 1,834.

The 2026 Global 2000 list reflects profound structural shifts in the global economy. The AI data center build-out, advanced manufacturing, and the energy transition are driving a surge in demand for critical minerals such as copper and lithium. That brought significantly more mining and materials companies onto the list and boosted their combined market value. Notably, the materials companies on this year’s list posted a 67.5% year-on-year surge in total market capitalization, alongside a 38.6% rise in profits.
