Description

Description	The WA gallium project at Wagerup transforms existing alumina processing facilities into a critical minerals production hub for gallium, a vital semiconductor material. The project leverages Alcoa's existing alumina refinery infrastructure to extract gallium from bauxite during alumina processing, providing a cost-effective and accelerated development timeline. It is a trilateral partnership involving Alcoa, Sojitz Corporation, and the US Export-Import Bank, supported by the Australian Critical Minerals Facility. The project aims to produce 100 tonnes of gallium annually by 2027, representing about 10% of the global supply, enhancing supply chain security for allied nations.
