Correct Answer - Option 4 : Australia

The Correct Answer is Australia.

  • The mineral-rich island nation has the world's second-largest bauxite reserve, at 6.2 billion tonnes, with the highest-grade deposits concentrated in Queensland and the Northern Territory.
  • The ore grades at the Weipa and Gove mines, for example, are 49-53 percent aluminum oxide.

  • Guinea is the world's leading bauxite producer, with an estimated bauxite ore reserve of 7.4 billion tonnes, mainly located in the western and central parts of the country. The nation holds 26.9% of the world's estimated ore reserves.
  • With 2.6 billion tonnes of bauxite reserves, the South American country came in seventh. The Paragominas bauxite mine is one of the world's richest suppliers of bauxite, situated in the state of Pará in northern Brazil.
  • The mine, which is fully operated by Brazil's Vale (CVRD), currently has an annual capacity of 5.4 million tonnes of bauxite.
  • India's bauxite ore production has remained relatively constant in comparison to its aluminum output and is expected to rise this year as domestic demand grows.
