This selection of large mining companies in Latin America includes major producers of metals and minerals. Companies like Vale specialize in iron ore, pellets, and nickel, while CODELCO – Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile is a significant copper producer. Gerdau and CSN - Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional are prominent steel producers, and SQM is a leading exporter of lithium, iodine, and potassium nitrate. Many of these firms manage extensive operations from extraction to processing and logistics.
A notable pattern among these companies is the strong presence of Brazilian headquarters. Several key players, including Vale, Gerdau, CSN, ArcelorMittal Brasil, USIMINAS, Nexa Resources, and Samarco, are based in cities like Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte. This highlights Brazil's significant role in the region's mining sector.

Tamtam finds the decision-makers at every company on a list like this one, with verified emails, phone numbers and the buying signals that tell you when to reach out.
How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
