Description
Description | The Chalco alumina project in Guinea is a greenfield alumina refinery with a nameplate capacity of 1.2 million tonnes per year. It represents the Aluminium Corporation of China's first overseas alumina processing facility, with a total capital expenditure estimated at approximately $1 billion USD. The project is anchored in the Boffa region of Guinea, leveraging high-grade bauxite deposits with low silica content to improve refinery economics. The refinery development includes significant infrastructure requirements such as power supply, caustic soda logistics, water management, and red mud containment. The project is a vertically integrated downstream extension of Chalco's existing Boffa bauxite mining operation established since 2018. |
