Vedanta Resources explores, mines, and refines copper, zinc, and aluminum, with operations located in Australia, Zambia, and India. Vedanta does business in India through its copper-producing subsidiary Sterlite Industries. Sterlite produces zinc and aluminum through its majority holdings in Hindustan Zinc and Bharat Aluminum Company. Its Australian properties include copper mines in Queensland and Tasmania. Vedanta also owns a controlling stake in India's largest private-sector iron ore producer, Sesa Goa Limited. In 2010 Vedanta agreed to acquire the zinc assets of Anglo American PLC in a $1.3 billion deal that would make it the world's largest zinc and lead producer.

Weatherly International has charted a course in African natural resources businesses. It operates primarily through two subsidiaries, Weatherly Mining Namibia and Namibia Custom Smelters. The former owns mines in Namibia, Zambia and Burkina Faso, producing mainly copper and manganese, while the smelting operation handles materials from Africa, Eastern Europe, and South America. In 2009 East China Mineral Exploration and Development agreed to buy a just-more than 50% stake in the company, though that agreement was terminted early the next year. Weatherly also agreed to sell Namibia Custom Smelters to Dundee Precious Metals for about $33 million.

Since its initial public offering in March 2002, Xstrata has grown rapidly to become one of the largest diversified mining companies in the world, with top five industry positions in copper, export thermal coal, export coking coal, ferrochrome, zinc and nickel. In addition, the Group has a growing platinum business, recycling facilities, additional exposures to gold, cobalt, lead, silver and vanadium and a suite of mining and metals-related technologies, many of which are industry leaders. Our operations and projects span 19 countries and we have corporate offices in a further six countries. Our strategy will continue to rest on delivery against each of these three pillars, but over time, the emphasis has shifted. Initially, Xstrata’s strategy was, of necessity, dominated by acquisitive growth, to build a major diversified mining group with the scale and diversity to compete effectively with the leading companies in the industry. Following each acquisition, Xstrata’s operational teams have fundamentally transformed the acquired operations to extract synergies with existing operations and enhance their competitiveness, improve safety, environmental and social performance to industry-leading standards, extend the reserve and resource base and expected life of the operations and develop expansion or associated growth options.

Zambia Copper Investments isn't sure what it wants to do, but it knows it likes copper. The company's primary asset had been a 28% stake in copper and cobalt mining company Konkola Copper Mines (KCM), but it sold that investment to another KCM shareholder, Vedanta Resources, in 2008. The following year it spent about $10 million for an 80% stake in African Copper PLC. Copperbelt Development Foundation has a 44% stake in Zambia Copper.
