African Business (IC Publications) · United Kingdom / Africa · Guinea capped bauxite exports at 150 million tonnes per year, cutting ~25% from 2025 run-rate, as Chalco opened a $1B alumina refinery at Boffa
African Business contextualises the export cap within Guinea's broader resource-nationalism trajectory under the Mamadi Doumbouya transitional government: the cap follows the revocation of Axis International permits, the EGA-GAC settlement, and the Simandou iron-ore renegotiation, establishing a pattern of asserting state control over mineral rents from concessions signed under prior administrations. Notes that Guinea has received commitments from Chinese investors for three additional in-country alumina refineries but none has broken ground.
“Guinea's bauxite export cap is the latest in a pattern of resource-nationalism moves under the Doumbouya government, following the Axis permit revocation and EGA-GAC settlement.”
