Some of the largest and most active are Resource Capital Funds, Pacific Road, CEF and Sentinel. A bunch of the mega shops have started looking into the mining space, including Apollo, Carlyle, Warburg Pincus and Blackstone (but are finding it hard because they cannot control commodity prices and thus a hurdle rate is hard to achieve).

A bunch of old mining execs have also started funds (or more accurately effectively management teams which are funded by investors) - Mick Davis (Xstrata) started X2, Aaron Regent started Magris, Lloyd Pengilly did QKR, etc. So far it has mostly been fund raising but Magris purchased a niobium asset from IAMGold a few months back.

Hope this helps

Thanks Punchey, I have the active shops down. Was there a database (can be paid) that have all the mining funds compiled?
