Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2015 -- Global reserves of bauxite were 28.1 billion tonnes (Bnt) as of January 2015. Guinea has the largest reserves with 7.4Bnt or 26% of global reserves, followed by Australia with 6.5Bnt. Bauxite deposits at Weipa in Queensland and Gove in the Northern Territory, both in Australia, have grades between 49–53% Al2O3, and are amongst the world's highest grade deposits. In 2014, global bauxite mine production was an estimated 263 million tonnes (Mt). Australia was the leading producer , followed by China, Brazil, Guinea and India.

Key Highlights

- Generally, 1 tonne (t) of aluminium metal is produced from 2t of alumina or 5t of bauxite ore. Over 90% of alumina produced globally is used for production of aluminium metal, termed Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) or metallurgical, with the remainder known as Non-Metallic Grade Alumina (NMGA) or non- metallurgical, which can be used in non-metallurgical applications such as in cement and slag conditioning.

- The transportation industry is expected to be the major driver for aluminium demand over the forecast period accounting for around 30% of global consumption followed by the construction, consumer durable goods, packaged food products and the beverage industries.

- Global reserves of bauxite were 28.1 billion tonnes (Bnt) as of January 2015. In 2014, global bauxite mine production was an estimated 263 million tonnes (Mt), down by 3.7% over 2013.

- Production of bauxite will grow over 2015–2020 due to upcoming planned projects and investments in smelting and processing.
