Abstract: This paper analyses the relationship between the attributes of Global minerals companies and corporate governance. This is achieved by augmenting and comparing the corporate governance ratings of mineral companies in South Africa to that of the mineral companies world wide. The results show that the measures of transparency, namely required disclosure and additional disclosure, of the sampled companies have a statistically significant positive relationship with corporate governance. The results have also shown no statistically significant difference in corporate governance between the minerals companies operating in South Africa and those operating in other parts of the world. The results have also shown that the companies’ attributes that include market value, market performance and financial performance do not have a statistically significant relationship with corporate governance. The paper, nevertheless, recommends continued encouragement of good corporate governance to all companies, including those in the minerals industry, given the devastating consequences of the recently experienced corporate scandals.
