<p>SMB, co-founded by Singapore’s Winning International Group, China’s Hongqiao Group, Yantai Port Group and Guinea’s UMS, entered into production in July 2015. The JV exported 8 million tonnes of bauxite from July 2015 to July 2016 and exports hit over 10 million tonnes in 2016, challenging Guinea-based CBG’s leadership. </p>
