SUGAR LAND, TX–(Marketwired – Feb 22, 2017) – Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) — Despite concerns over politically driven economic uncertainty, BHP Billiton plc (NYSE:BHP) (Melbourne, Australia), the world’s largest mining company by market value, benefited from rising commodity prices and strong results from its copper operations as 2016 came to a close. But executives warned that much of this progress could be undone by rising protectionist attitudes in Western countries. Industrial Info is tracking $14.67 billion in active projects involving BHP.
