Bauxite ore is the world's main source of aluminum. Bauxite is a rock formed from a reddish clay material called laterite soil and is most commonly found in tropical or subtropical regions. Bauxite is primarily comprised of aluminum oxide compounds (alumina), silica, iron oxides and titanium dioxide.Web

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
