Bauxite Mining is the process of extracting bauxite, an aluminium ore, from the earth. It is the primary source of aluminium and is used in a variety of products, including aluminum foil, cans, and car parts. The process involves the removal of topsoil and overburden, followed by the excavation of bauxite ore. The ore is then transported to a processing plant, where it is crushed and screened before being sent to an alumina refinery for further processing. The bauxite mining market is driven by the increasing demand for aluminium products, as well as the rising prices of bauxite ore. The market is also influenced by the availability of bauxite ore, as well as the cost of mining and processing. Some of the major companies in the bauxite mining market include Rio Tinto, Alcoa, BHP Billiton, Norsk Hydro, and Alumina Limited. Show Less Read more
