Bauxite Mining | The Australian Aluminium Council
Bauxite Mining. Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust, occurring as bauxite which contains aluminium oxide. The first step in producing aluminium is mining this ore. Bauxite occurs mainly in tropical and sub-tropical areas, like Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Australia. Australia is the largest producer of bauxite, with five large mines supplying around 30 per cent of global production.
