Aluminium | Geoscience Australia
Bauxite is the most common aluminium ore. Bauxite occurs as a weathered cover or blanket, known as laterite or duricrust, over a variety of alumina-bearing rocks. It forms when large amounts of rainfall leach away the more mobile elements in the host rock leaving the relatively immobile aluminium with some silicon, iron and titanium.

China's depleting resources add fuel to the fire
The process for mining bauxite is not complex. Unlike ores from base metals, the grade of most bauxite found through mining is acceptable. Bauxites of Brazil, South-East Asia, as well as some types found in Australia and China, need up-grading from the crude ore. This is achieved by washing and screening, and then the super-fine …
