Mytilineos Energy & Metals announced that it has received a license from the Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development Corporation (GIADEC) to explore and subsequently extract bauxite deposits in the Ninayhin – Mpasaaso region.
The area is expected to have around 300 million tons of bauxite and expects to reach an annual production capacity of 10 million tons of bauxite, equal to $500 million in turnover.
