Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG), a Guinean mining company, plans to inaugurate its future alumina refinery in three years, starting from 2027. Its director general, Karifa Condé, announced the timetable on Wednesday 11 November in Kassa, at the opening of the Simandou Mining Summit, according to Visionguinee.
Karifa Condé said CBG had begun implementing the refinery project to diversify its activities and process more bauxite in Guinea. Established in 1963 and starting production in 1973, CBG now wants to increase local processing of its mineral resources, as part of the new direction being pursued by the Simandou Strategic Committee and the Ministry of Mines and Geology, he said.
The CBG director general also said that the exploitation of mineral resources must contribute to the country’s development, noting that these resources are limited. He presented the company’s development since its creation as a reflection of Guinea’s stability and respect for its international commitments.
