Guinea is in advanced talks with state-owned China Power Investment to build an alumina refinery, deep water port and a power plant in the West African state, Guinean government sources said.
One source, who asked not to be named, said the project, which is in Boffa, some 120 km (75 miles) west of the capital, Conakry, and could begin as soon as 2012, would cost $5.8 billion.
"We are indeed in talks with China Power Investment for the construction of an alumina refinery that will have a 4 million tonne per year capacity," Guillaume Curtis, secretary general in the ministry of mines, told Reuters.
Curtis said CPI had completed a first feasibility study on the project, which the government had analysed.
