You could use an actual space mining company. Three companies are planned to go into this business within the decade.

One is "Planetary Resources", another is "Deep Space Industries" and a third is "NIAC" (Although the third one is more of examining asteroids and coming up with the best method theoretically.)

The first two are serious, with DSI planning sample missions in 2016, mining in 2023. PR planning a fuel depot by 2020 and looking for cost-effective ways of travel.

These companies could probably be further on because of what has happened to humans in GC anyway, so they might be good competitors to Atlas Enterprises.
