BHP Billiton Ltd and Glencore plc led declines among global mining companies as commodity prices plunged on heightened concern of a sharp slowdown in China.

BHP, the world's biggest miner, fell to a near seven-year low and Rio Tinto Group slid to a near three-year low in Sydney, while Glencore slumped to a record low in Hong Kong. Gold producers bucked the trend, notching gains on strength in the price of the yellow metal.
