Executive Chairman's Message
We reflect on the significant progress GBC has made over the past year and outline our vision for the future. The ratification of our 30-year mining lease by the Parliament of Ghana marks a pivotal moment for our company.
Our Operations
From extraction at the Awaso Mine to shipment through the Takoradi port to international ports, every aspect of our operations is executed with precision and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
Exploration & Planning
Geological surveys identify high-grade bauxite deposits. Mining plans are developed with environmental impact assessments to ensure responsible mining.
Extraction
GBC is transitioning from traditional drill-and-blast method to modern surface mining techniques, supported by a new fleet of surface miners, haulage trucks, and dump trucks.
Processing
Ore is screened, crushed, and beneficiated on site to produce export-grade trihydrate bauxite (52% alumina, 1.5% reactive silica), consistently meeting the stringent exacting specifications of global aluminium producers.
Export
Export-grade bauxite is transported approximately 240 km by haulage trucks to the Port of Takoradi, where it is loaded onto bulk carrier vessels for export to customers across China, Europe and the world.
