Operations
Proven Operational Capability
At First Bauxite, we are committed to continuously enhancing our processing capabilities, unlocking the full potential of our unique mineral resources to better serve our clients.
Extensive Mineral Resources
With a mine life exceeding 20 years at our Bonasika mines, First Bauxite is actively working to define additional resources to further extend operations. In addition to our world-class bauxite reserves, our mine is rich in high-purity quartz sand and clays, offering additional opportunities for diverse industrial applications.
Modern Mining & Processing Capabilities
Equipped with an owner-operated fleet, First Bauxite selectively mines and stockpiles different ore grades to meet highly specific application requirements. Our state-of-the-art wash plant effectively removes clays and other impurities, ensuring the highest levels of purity in our bauxite products.
For customers with precise product sizing and moisture requirements, FBX offers a range of Particle Size Distributions (PSDs) and moisture levels, utilizing advanced crushing, screening, drying, and covered storage facilities conveniently located near our loading port.
Quality Control
First Bauxite has recently enhanced its quality control infrastructure, including the construction of new quality control and process control laboratories. Our quality control laboratory at the Sandhills port facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, supported by rigorous sampling, testing protocols, and data management systems that ensure accurate, consistent analysis and optimized turnaround times.
A satellite laboratory at the wash plant assists the mining team with grade control, stockpile management, and lot traceability while supporting the Production Team with near real-time process control data for continuous wash plant optimization. In addition, First Bauxite invests heavily in training and development, leveraging specialized expertise from the global First Bauxite group and internationally recognized analytics partners to maintain industry-leading quality standards.
With full mine-to-market traceability, First Bauxite is a reliable and trustworthy supply partner, committed to consistently meeting customer needs.

Our Sandhills Facility in Guyana is an ISPS-accredited wharf and ship-loading facility, designed for the safe, efficient turnaround of bulk vessels. Featuring large covered warehouses, covered conveyors, and a telescopic radial stacker, our facility is optimized for seamless logistics operations.
We regularly dredge our wharf to maintain a 6.5 metre draft, comfortably accommodating vessels up to 140 metres in length and 23 metres beam.
