Confirmed global bauxite supplies are estimated at 18.6 billion tons. At the current level of extraction, this should last for more than a 100 years. ? There is a lot of variation in bauxites. Structurally they can be solid & dense or crumbly. The usual color is brick red, flaming red, or brown because of iron oxide. If iron content is low, bauxite can be grey or white. But yellow, dark green and even multi-colored bauxites with bluish, purple, red, and black strains occur too. ? About 90% of the world?s bauxite supplies are found in the tropics and subtropics, with 73% in just five countries: Guinea, Brazil, Jamaica, Australia, and India. Guinea has the largest supply of bauxites, 5.3 billion tons (28.4% of the global supply) & the Guinean bauxites are very high quality, containing minimal amounts of admixtures. They're also found very near to the surface, which makes mining them very easy.
