The biggest one in my field of study is Société le Nickel in New Caledonia.

The House Rothschild was one of the early investors in the race to open up gold, nickel, copper, and cobalt mines in New Caledonia; and helped provide the capital necessary for some French geologists (Jules Garnier being the main) to kick start the mining industry (1880) and build up enough infrastructure and secure enough mining concessions that ultimately they were able to buy out many of the other smaller producers that were founded around the same time. The fact that they built a processing plant in the colony very early on (1910).

The company's main product has been nickel; a key industrial component, and very important to France as a strategic resource- part of the reason why the colony is still part of France and why there is such a large settler population there. The company has experienced a couple of huge booms; especially during the arms race leading up to the first world war; and then again in the 1960s.

The companies size and presence in the colonial economy have lead it to have a somewhat outsized voice in political affairs since the 1910's. The French branch of the House Rothschild still controls the mining company among other subsidiaries and has only increased control since further consolidation in the industry in the 1930s.

So maybe not the big famous company you are looking for- but a company that has considerable holdings and has rights to a large amount of the known unextracted nickel ore. They are somewhat behind the scenes as they don't produce any consumer goods, but are instead an important supplier of raw materials and have been for over a century now.
