High Alumina Content
Guinean bauxite is known globally for its high alumina (Al₂O₃) content—often in the range of 40–48% or higher. This makes it particularly attractive for aluminum production since more alumina can be extracted per unit of ore.
Low Reactive Silica
Many Guinean deposits have relatively low reactive silica (SiO₂) content, which helps reduce processing costs and equipment wear in refineries.
Iron and Other Components
Bauxite from Guinea also contains iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), titanium oxide (TiO₂), and other minor constituents—typical for bauxite deposits worldwide.
Good Availability and Large Reserves
Guinea hosts some of the world’s largest known bauxite reserves, which contributes to consistent supply and long-term viability for aluminum smelters and refineries.
