Guinea to cut bauxite exports by April to support prices

The government of Guinea has announced plans to reduce bauxite export volumes by early April. This strategic move is designed to support global prices and provide a safety net for smaller mining operations currently squeezed by unfavorable market conditions. Mines Minister Bouna Sylla clarified that the measure is intended to manage supply rather than impose a total ban.

"It’s not really a quota, but we will reduce the volumes we export."
