Resource figures are current as at 31 December 2016. Bauxite is a natural product of weathering and occurs as a white to grey to reddish orangebrown crust at or near the Earth's surface in regions that have, or have had in the past, high rainfall. Bauxite is generally hard, heterogeneous in appearance and can be nodular, layered or massive.

In this process, the ore is converted into pure aluminium oxide via the Bayer Process. Bauxite contains impurities like ferric oxides, titanium dioxide, silica, etc. Thus, the concentration of this ore is necessary to remove impurities. The Bayer process is generally the most widely used process for the production of alumina.
