Interest in bauxite mining in Fiji continues to grow with the latest one from a Russian company UC RUSAL which is the world’s largest producer of aluminum.
UC Rusal’s three member team met with the Ministry of Mineral Resources Acting Permanent Secretary Pene Baleinabuli yesterday and has expressed interest to explore potential bauxite mining and export opportunities in the country.
Baleinabuli said the company’s interest will greatly boost the mining sector in the country which the ministry is banking on to greatly assist the nation in socio-economic development.
Baleinabuli has assured members of the visiting delegation that the ministry would look at options to accommodate their interest.
The Ministry highlighted areas between Ba and Lautoka as some of the prospect areas of bauxite in the region.
