Bauxite weekly recap: Restoration of Hindalco's Samri bauxite mines as ecological sanctuaries; Guinea's bauxite mines to run on sustainable fuel

The curious part about the bauxite sector has always been what happens to a site when its mineral potential is lost. This week we had a chance to get answers to that question. Spread over 6 hectares of Hindalco’s Samri bauxite mine was transformed into a tea garden, bio-diversity park and grove.

An environmental NGO, A Rocha Ghana, urged the Ghana government and the Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development Corporation (GIADEC) to repeal the decision to mine bauxite in the Atewa forest.
