Bauxite mainly occurs in low-lying flat-topped plateaus at an elevation of 200 to 400m above MSL (mean sea level). Laterite-Bauxite starts from the surface with thin soil cover (<0.5m) and low overburden (about 1m). The average thickness of the bauxite ore zone is about 6 to 8m, which makes mining operation quite simple and cost-efficient.Web
