Alufer is carrying out a feasibility study into the expansion of production at its Bel Air bauxite mine in Guinea by another 4.5 Mtpa to 10 Mtpa. Production began on phase 1 in February, and Alufer has reported that it is satisfied that existing transport operations are working well. Bernie Pryor, CEO of Alufer, said: "It is a significant achievement to have hit commercial production within the first six months of operation. To increase output from first ore on ship to today's run rate shows how well our mining, haulage and transhipment processes are functioning. The Bel Air project has integrated logistics and all areas need to be streamlined and work efficiently from pit to ship."
