| • Bauxite is the “ore” of aluminum.
• Aluminum is one of the world’s most useful and used metals, possessing qualities of strength, flexibility, light weight, corrosion resistance, formability, and high conductivity to both heat and electricity.
• Rapid growth of Asian economics has dramatically increased global demand for aluminum and hence, bauxite.
• In an environment of high demand and tight supply, the acquisition and development of bauxite resources presents a tremendous opportunity. |
