The market capitalization rankings for the largest 25 metals and mining companies changed little during April. These top 25 companies were worth an aggregate US$611.25 billion at the end of April, an 18% increase compared with the corresponding month in 2016, when the same companies held a value of US$516.84 billion.
Charlotte, N.C.-based lithium producer Albemarle Corp. marked the second consecutive month of market cap growth by taking 23rd position. Albemarle closed April with a market cap of US$12.06 billion, and was among the handful of companies that registered an increase in market cap in April 2017. Albemarle reported 10% growth in first-quarter 2017 net sales.
