The Ghana Bauxite Company Limited (GBC), based in Awaso in the Western North Region, is gearing up to transform the local industry with plans to build a state-of-the-art alumina refinery. This bold move promises to supercharge domestic processing capabilities and break Ghana's reliance on foreign refineries, marking a powerful step toward unlocking the full potential of the country's rich bauxite reserves.

A commendable move by GBC

The government has praised the leadership of Ghana Bauxite Company (GBC) at Awaso for taking a bold step towards building an alumina refinery, an initiative to transform the country's bauxite industry.

"The refinery will significantly improve our operations and contribute meaningfully to Ghana's economy. It will allow us to process bauxite locally, create jobs, and retain more revenue within the country. This is a fantastic development. Not only will it expand employment opportunities in Awaso and surrounding areas, but it also aligns with the government's broader vision of an integrated aluminium industry," said Alexander Gyadu, General Manager of the Ghana Bauxite Company.
