Bauxite, an aluminium ore, is the world’s main source of aluminium. It consists mostly of the minerals gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore, mixed with the two iron oxides goethite and haematite.

Bauxite is a soft, whitish to reddish-brown rock consisting mainly of alumina-bearing hydroxides, oxides of iron, silicon and titanium with impurities of Ca, Mg, Cr, V, P, Ga and other elements. Raw Bauxite is a major source of aluminium. Basic alumina containing minerals of Bauxites are gibbsite Al(OH)3, Boehmite g-AlO(OH) and Diaspore a-AlO(OH)
Bauxite is used in a lot of industries like the chemical industry, refractory, abrasive, cement, steel, and petrol industry amongst others. In chemical, bauxite along with alumina is used in the manufacturing of aluminium chemicals. In refractory, it is used as a raw material for making several products.
We can provide up to 10000 MT per month. SGS report is also available.
The composition of bauxite consists mainly of aluminium hydroxide minerals, such as gibbsite Al(OH)3 along with various impurities such as iron oxides, silica, and titanium. The colour of bauxite can range from grey to brown, yellowish-brown, or reddish-brown, depending on the presence of impurities. Bauxite is a crucial raw material for the production of aluminium, which is widely used in various industries such as transportation, construction, packaging, electrical appliances, and aerospace. Aluminium is valued for its lightweight, corrosion resistance, high conductivity, and recyclability. Bauxite mining and aluminium production have significant economic impacts in countries with abundant reserves.

Guinea is renowned for producing high-grade, low-cost bauxite, particularly gibbsitic bauxite. This bauxite is characterized by low silica content (typically below 3% silicon dioxide) and a good balance of gibbsite and boehmite minerals, making it ideal for alumina production with minimal processing challenges and energy costs.
Here's a more detailed look:
Low Silica Content:
Gibbsitic Bauxite:
The bauxite is primarily gibbsite (Al(OH)3) with minimal boehmite and goethite, allowing for processing at lower temperatures and pressures, reducing energy consumption.
High Alumina Content:
Guinea bauxite typically contains around 44-46% alumina (Al2O3), a key component in the production of aluminum.
