Russian aluminium company Rusal is set to form a joint venture in Ghana to mine and process bauxite, according to a memorandum signed on Thursday, reported the state news agency RIA. The company, led by CEO Evgeny Nikitin, aims to produce 5 million metric tons of bauxite and process 1.2 million tons annually in Ghana. The agreement with Ghana's state agency for aluminium industry development was finalized during the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum in Moscow.
Rusal, the world's largest aluminium producer outside China, already operates significant bauxite mines in Guinea, including the Compagnie des Bauxites de Kindia (CBK), the Dian-Dian deposit, and the Friguia complex. The company currently operates seven bauxite mines globally, with two located in Russia. In 2025, Rusal produced 18.453 million metric tons of bauxite, with captive production covering 88% of its alumina refineries' needs.
