Guinea Exit After Government Seizure In a significant development reshaping the global bauxite supply chain, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has announced the complete termination of its bauxite mining operations in Guinea following the government's expropriation of its mine. This move marks a pivotal moment in the evolving relationship between resource-rich African nations and international mining companies, with far-reaching implications for the aluminum industry worldwide.
What Happened to Emirates Global Aluminium in Guinea? Emirates Global Aluminium has officially ceased all operations in Guinea, with its Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC) subsidiary finalizing employee dismissals and terminating contracts with service providers. As of August 23, 2025, EGA will no longer maintain any presence or control over its former mining sites in the country, marking the end of a significant chapter in Guinea's mining history.
The company's exit comes after months of escalating tensions with the Guinean government, culminating in the transfer of GAC's mining lease to a state-owned company. This development represents one of the most significant expropriations of foreign mining assets in West Africa in recent years.
