Guinea Seeks US Financing for CBG's Alumina Refinery Project
[SMM Aluminum Express News] Guinea is seeking US financing for Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée’s (CBG) planned alumina refinery, as the country accelerates efforts to process more of its bauxite domestically. Guinea’s Mines Ministry said discussions were held on September 18 with the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and US Export-Import Bank over potential involvement in financing the project. CBG aims to begin construction by the end of 2026, although the refinery’s financing requirement and potential US contribution have not yet been disclosed.
