Overview

Guinea Alumina Company (GAC) Boké Bauxite Mine, developed by Emirates Global Aluminium for $1.4 billion, was a fully integrated mining operation in northwestern Guinea. Spanning a 690 km² concession with 400 million tonnes of bauxite resources, it produced 12 million tonnes annually, connected by a 134-kilometer railway to a purpose-built Kamsar port. Operational since 2019, the project created 14,000 jobs before Guinea revoked GAC's concession in August 2025, transferring assets to a state-backed entity without compensation.
