Guinea Alumina Corporation is our wholly-owned bauxite mining subsidiary in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. Bauxite is the ore from which aluminium is derived. Exports of bauxite ore began in 2019.
GAC operates a 690-square kilometre mining concession, located in the northwest of Guinea. Once mined, bauxite is transported to GAC’s port at Kamsar by train using shared rail infrastructure.
Bauxite from GAC is predominantly supplied by EGA to third-party customers, with some shipped to our Al Taweelah alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi.
A second phase of the GAC project envisages construction of an alumina refinery in Guinea, delivering further value for the nation.
