2023 bauxite production and reserves (thousands of tons) [1] Country Production Reserves World: 400,000: 30,000,000
Annual production of bauxite in the United States, 1900-2013. Bauxite mining in the United States produced an estimated 128,000 metric tonnes of bauxite in 2013. [1] Although the United States was an important source of bauxite in the early 20th century, it now supplies less than one percent of world bauxite production.
Aluminium/bauxite pricing. The raw bauxite ore does not have its own price. As a result, bauxite prices are often compared to world aluminium prices when bauxite is being sold. This means that when world aluminium prices are high, bauxite will rise in price and can be sold for more. [1] Chinese economy
The US imported nearly all the bauxite (the only commercial aluminum ore) used in producing primary aluminum. For years, the US has produced less than 1% of the bauxite used to make aluminum. The US also imported 33 percent of the aluminum that was used in 2014. Of the imported aluminum, 63% came from Canada. [1] [19]

Bauxite is the main source of the rare metal gallium. [17] During the processing of bauxite to alumina in the Bayer process, gallium accumulates in the sodium hydroxide liquor. From this it can be extracted by a variety of methods. The most recent is the use of ion-exchange resin. [18]
The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide) and was developed by Carl Josef Bayer.Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–60% aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3), the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide.

Bauxite deposits in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, 1986 USGS map. Bauxite was first discovered in modern Indonesia in the Riau Islands in 1924, under the Dutch East Indies administration. Production commenced in the 1930s, with the volume of ore mined between 1936 and 1960 being between 100 and 400 thousand tonnes, rising to 900,000 ...
