Located in northwestern Guinea, GAC operates a vast 690-square-kilometre mining concession that feeds directly into international supply chains, thanks to a dedicated rail link to its port at Kamsar.
Since exports began in 2019, GAC has become a key supplier of bauxite, the primary ore for aluminium production, to third-party customers worldwide. In 2024 alone, the company exported 10.8 million tonnes of bauxite, a significant volume contributing to both EGA’s own needs and the global aluminium value chain. A portion of this bauxite also supplies EGA’s Al Taweelah alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi.
GAC, in 2024, has extended beyond raw ore exports. The mining entity envisages the construction of a domestic alumina refinery in Guinea, an essential step towards in-country beneficiation and value addition. Backed by a robust investment of approximately USD 1.4 billion, GAC is developing a region rich with around 400 million tonnes of bauxite resources, which is planned to be tapped by 2040. It also holds the distinction of being the first operation in Guinea certified to the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Performance Standard.
