The process for mining bauxite is not complex. Unlike ores from base metals, the grade of most bauxite found through mining is acceptable. Bauxites of Brazil, South-East Asia, as well as some types found in Australia and China, need up-grading from the crude ore. This is achieved by washing and screening, and then the super-fine …

The bauxite formed a bed averaging 2 m thick. The bauxite is friable and reddish-brown, contains boulders of all sizes up to 12 m diameter of gabbro, which would hinder mining. The core of the boulders is fresh, with a thin skin of bauxite. The bauxite ranged from 45–53% A1 2 O 3 and contains 64–78 % gibbsite.
Bauxite is generally extracted by open cast mining, being almost always found near the surface, with processes that vary slightly depending on the location. Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation. Alongside this process may be the collection of seeds and/or saplings, for inclusion in a seedbank, which ...
