Newmont rival Barrick Gold wasn't far behind on the controversy scale, with this bad press also focusing on projects in the developing world.
"Multiple claims of sexual abuse, beatings and murders have been linked to [Barrick's] security staff," Reprisk said.
"Those affected by environmental destruction, health problems, and loss of land and livlihoods have also achieved a media presence, publicising their complaints against the company."
Elsewhere Reprisk said Glencore International was one of the most controversial companies of 2011, with its "notorious secrecy" and environmental and human rights abuses bringing bad news.
"The company's activisits continue to be targeted for safety, environmental impact, human rights and tax issues," Reprisk said.
