Company officials revealed that Rusal aims to produce 5 million metric tons of bauxite annually in Ghana and process 1.2 million tons each year. The deal was finalized during the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum in Moscow, seen as a potential boost for Ghana's aluminium sector. Rusal, the world's largest aluminium producer outside China, currently holds significant bauxite mining operations in Guinea, where it manages the CBK company, the Dian-Dian deposit, and the Friguia complex. The company operates a total of seven bauxite mines globally, including two in Russia. In 2025, Rusal mined 18.453 million metric tons of bauxite, with 88% of its alumina refineries' needs met by captive production.",
