EGA to launch construction os 12 Mtpa bauxite mine in Guinea

Published June 24, 2016

EGA to launch construction os 12 Mtpa bauxite mine in Guinea

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) will begin construction on a major bauxite mine in the Republic of Guinea, to secure supply of the high-quality raw material for its primary aluminium production facilities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and create a new, substantial revenue stream through significant exports to Asia.  

EGA announced it has received final approval from its Board of Directors to launch the first phase of the mine, to be managed through its subsidiary, Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC). The project will develop an initial 12 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) bauxite mine in the Republic of Guinea, where the company holds a concession on more than 1 billion tonnes of bauxite. The project will also include the construction of a dedicated export terminal at Port Kamsar and upgrades to existing rail infrastructure for in-land logistics. Guinea holds the world’s largest and highest quality reserves of bauxite, the raw material used in the production of aluminium.

The mine is scheduled to begin production in 2018, with plans to export bauxite via Port Kamsar to the Middle East and Pacific markets. The development of this bauxite mine builds on EGA’s strategy to integrate its current smelting operations with world-class upstream assets, thus reducing its dependency on third-party suppliers for critical raw materials. EGA is also currently constructing the UAE’s first alumina refinery, on a site adjacent to its Al Taweelah Operations’ aluminium smelter in the Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD). The 2 Mtpa alumina refinery will reduce EGA’s dependency on alumina imports by more than 40%.

Abdulla Kalban (Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of EGA) said, “This investment builds on our plan to secure EGA’s supply chain and capitalise on growth in the third party bauxite market. Despite the prevailing challenges facing the aluminium industry, we remain confident in the long-term outlook for the sector, and believe it is the right time for us to invest in high-quality, cost-competitive assets. We have built a strong presence in-country with the support of the government and people of Guinea, and we will continue our work to support local communities there – including training of more than 200 Guineans in the UAE for deployment to key roles in our business.”

The mine development project is estimated to create approximately 4,000 direct and indirect jobs in the Boké region, increase Guinea’s GDP by more than 10 per cent annually, and solidify Guinea’s position as the world’s largest exporter of bauxite, thus providing a significant uplift to the country’s foreign earnings. Global demand for high-quality bauxite, particularly in China, is expected to grow significantly over the next decade.

EGA has plans for further investments in Guinea upon the successful completion of the bauxite export mine, including the development of an alumina refinery. EGA prides itself in the development of projects to exacting global standards of community and environmental responsibility, with substantial investments made to date and to be further developed through the life of the project. EGA’s areas of focus include community health centres (5 delivered to date), provision of clean water (26 wells delivered to date), primary and secondary education (schools for more than 5,500 children constructed), vocational training (approximately 500 trained to date) and SME development (thousands of adult literacy beneficiaries and financial assistance for SMEs), as well as investments in protection of habitats for rare and endangered flora and fauna.

EGA is one of the world’s leading aluminium companies with interests in bauxite/alumina and primary aluminium smelting; with plans for significant local growth and international expansion. The company’s two operating sites in Abu Dhabi and Dubai (UAE) currently produce 2.4 Mtpa of primary aluminium.

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is a leading aluminium player with interests across the value chain from bauxite mining through to alumina refining and primary aluminium smelting. The company has plans for significant local growth and international expansion.

EGA is owned equally by Mubadala and Investment Corporation of Dubai. The company’s core operating assets are its two smelters in Jebel Ali, Dubai (DUBAL) and Al Taweelah, Abu Dhabi (EMAL), whose combined production of 2.4 million tonnes per annum (tpa) places EGA among the largest primary aluminium producers in the world.

As the UAE’s newest industrial champion, EGA bridges the UAE to over 75 countries and more than 300 industrial customers. It is among the UAE’s leading non-oil export companies, and the largest exporter to key markets such as the US.

EGA’s core operating assets, the Dubai Aluminium (DUBAL) and Emirates Aluminium (EMAL) smelters, are located in Dubai and Abu Dhabi respectively. With a combined production of 2.4 million tonnes per annum (tpa), these assets place EGA among the largest primary aluminium producers in the world. Both smelters are committed to high standards of health and safety, and focus on reducing operational environmental impact and investing in broader social and economic development.

The combined smelting portfolio comprises high quality aluminium products in four main forms: re-melt ingot, billet, slab ingot and liquid metal. EGA also produces anode bars and bus bars, used in the electrolytic aluminium production process. Most of EGA’s annual production is value-added products, with about 90 percent of total production exported worldwide. The company’s key markets are Asia, the Middle East and North Africa region, Europe and the Americas.

EGA is currently developing Al Taweelah Alumina, a 2 million tpa alumina refinery adjacent to EMAL in Abu Dhabi, taking advantage of the world-class infrastructure of Khalifa Port and KIZAD (Khalifa Industrial Zone of Abu Dhabi).

EGA also owns Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC), a mining development company focused on advancing its bauxite and alumina project in the Republic of Guinea (West Africa), which is currently at the Feasibility Study stage. In China, EGA is in the process of integrating two  calcined petroleum coke production facilities into its portfolio to support its requirements for anode-grade carbon materials.

Guinea Alumina Corporation

GUINEA’S LARGEST BAUXITE MINE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Guinea Alumina Corporation S.A. (“GAC”) is a mining development company focused on advancing its wholly-owned bauxite and alumina export project in the Boké region of north-western Guinea. GAC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emirates Global Aluminium (“EGA”), which is equally-owned by Mubadala Development Company and Investment Corporation of Dubai.

Corporate Profile

Guinea Alumina Corporation S.A. (“GAC”), a wholly Emirates Global Aluminium (“EGA”) owned mining development company, is currently focused on advancing its bauxite and alumina export project in the Republic of Guinea. The decision to invest in Guinea is a key component in the EGA strategy of upstream security – Guinea is rich in mineral resources including iron ore, bauxite, diamonds and gold; and the country is home to over 7 billion tonnes of bauxite reserves (equivalent to 27 per cent of the world total). Moreover, Guinean bauxite is amongst the highest quality in the world – particularly in terms of high alumina grade and low silica levels – and is thus highly sought after by the international market. Importantly, the GAC project centers on a high quality, export grade bauxite deposit in excess of 1.3 billion tonnes – the concession being located in the Boké region of north-western Guinea at the heart of the country’s bauxite reserves.

The GAC project will be transformational for Guinea, which to date has had only one significant export mine since its independence. The benefits of the project for Guinea include:

The GAC bauxite mine will be Guinea’s second major bauxite mine, which will improve the positioning of Guinea on world markets.

Development of the commercial quay at Port Kamsar, which will be completed during 2015, will unlock other regional opportunities for bauxite and agricultural exports, as well as material imports. It will provide a pillar and catalyst for the development of the Boké corridor as an alternative to the Conakry Port.

The unprecedented investment of approximately US$ 1 billion will increase Guinea’s visibility and improve international perception and business indices.

An incremental US$ 500 million per annum GDP contribution and US$ 250 to 300 million to the Guinean trade balance, given that 100% of GAC production is destined for export.
