Bauxite
Metallurgical and refractory-oriented bauxite inquiries.
We coordinate bauxite inquiries with attention to available alumina, reactive silica, iron content and loss on ignition. Buyers should specify the refinery or end-use process so that offers can be screened appropriately.
Forms typically discussed
- Crushed run-of-mine bauxite
- Screened / washed bauxite
What buyers should prepare
- Refinery process (low/high temperature digestion)
- Analysis basis (dry / as received)

Illustrative specification fields only — not a statement of available inventory or guaranteed grades.
Final grades are determined by independent sampling and analysis (e.g. SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or a mutually agreed laboratory) at load port and/or discharge port, as agreed in contract.
