Where companies fear losing rights and concessions, Lindian Resources, an Australian mining entity, is confident about its safety in the Guinean mining business. But where is this confidence stemming from? The answer lies in three nouns — Lelouma, Gaoual and Woula.
Lelouma bauxite project, described as a ‘Tier 1’ bauxite project, is a recently secured (April 2025) Lindian Resources’ 100 per cent ownership project. It boasts a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource of 900 million tonnes at 45 per cent aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) and 2.1 per cent silicon dioxide (SiO₂). The project aims to produce direct shipping ore (DSO), meaning it won’t require extensive processing. It’s strategically located near existing infrastructure, including a railway line and the Kamsar port.
The Gaoual bauxite project, located in the Boké Bauxite Belt in north-western Guinea, contains ‘conglomerate bauxite’, which is the same type of high-quality ore found at the Sangaredi bauxite deposit, mined by Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG). Lindian acquired an exclusive option agreement for this project.
