Currently, three alumina refinery projects by Chalco, SPIC, and the Winning Consortium are under construction, with a total capacity expected to reach 4.8 million mt. In addition, the Guinean government is in discussions with Alcoa (CBG) on an alumina refinery project and is making every effort to drive the country's transformation from a bauxite exporter to an alumina processing nation, in order to enhance its position in the global aluminum industry chain.
