Bauxite exporter from Cameroon — quoted on alumina & silica.

Metallurgical-grade bauxite for alumina refineries, specified on total and available Al₂O₃, reactive silica and moisture — sampled by an independent surveyor and shipped FOB, CFR or CIF from Cameroonian ports.

Overview

What we supply

We supply bauxite for alumina refining, offered on a dry-basis chemistry agreed with the buyer before contract. Because refinery economics depend on available alumina and reactive silica more than on total alumina alone, every offer states both.

Cameroon holds some of Central Africa’s largest bauxite resources, principally on the Adamawa plateau. We offer lots only once their source, custody and analysis are documented.

FAQ

Bauxite — buyer questions

How is bauxite priced?

Per dry metric tonne against the agreed Al₂O₃ and reactive-silica basis, with bonuses or penalties for deviation fixed in the contract.

Who carries out sampling?

An independent inspection company agreed by both parties samples at loading and issues the certificate of analysis and draft survey.

Can you ship a trial cargo?

Trial quantities can be containerised before moving to bulk vessel shipments, subject to availability.
