Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba, izimayini zase-Australiainkampani Lindian Resources muva njeimemezele ukuthi isayine Isivumelwano Sokuthenga I-Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) esibopha ngokusemthethweni ukuze ithole ukulingana okusele okungu-25% ku-Bauxite Holding kubanikazi bamasheya abambalwa. Lesi sinyathelo siphawula ukutholwa okusemthethweni kukaLindian Resources kobunikazi obungu-100% bephrojekthi ye-Lelouma bauxite eGuinea, okuqeda ngokuphelele ubungozi bokuncishiswa kokulawulwa kwephrojekthi ngenxa yokulingana okuyizicucu, kanye nezingxabano ezingaba khona zezezimali nezinqumo ekuthuthukisweni okulandelayo.

Itholakala entshonalanga yeGuinea, iphrojekthi ye-Lelouma bauxite ingaphakathi kwendawo okubamba kuyo imizila emikhulu yezokuthutha kaloliwe yezwe kanye ne-Kamsar Port (elinye lamachweba olwandle aseNtshonalanga Afrika). Indawo yayo ephakeme kakhulu inikezela ngezinzuzo ezibalulekile kwezokuthutha nezinto ezithunyelwa ngaphandle. Njengengxenye enkulu yomthombo we-bauxite e-Afrika, iGuinea iphethe cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yezindawo zokulondoloza i-bauxite ezifakazelwe emhlabeni, nendawo lapho iphrojekthi ye-Lelouma ekhona ingenye yezindawo ezigxilile zokusabalalisa zezwe ze-bauxite yekhwalithi ephezulu. Abanikazi bangaphambilini bephrojekthi batshale imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-10 zamaRandi ekuhloleni kokuqala kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda. Uhlolovo lwe-geological oluqediwe lubonisa indawo yezimayini ine-bauxite yezinga eliphezulu, nezilinganiso zokuqala zensiza ezibonisa amandla okuthuthukiswa kwezohwebo. Le phrojekthi iphethe amathani ayizigidi ezingama-900 wemithombo yezimbiwa ethobela i-JORC,nge-alumina grade45% kanye ne-silica grade 2.1%. Iphrojekthi ye-Lelouma yakhelwe ukukhiqiza i-Direct Shipping Ore (DSO), eqeda isidingo sokucutshungulwa.

Abahlaziyi bayaqaphela ukuthi imakethe ye-bauxite yomhlaba wonke ibhekene nokukhula okuqinile kwesidingo sokuhlinzeka, ikakhulukazi njengoba i-China, umkhiqizi omkhulu we-aluminium emhlabeni, iqhubeka nokubona isidingo esikhulayo sekhwalithi ephezulu yezinsiza ze-bauxite zaphesheya kwezilwandle. Ngokusebenzisa izinzuzo zendawo kanye nezisetshenziswa zephrojekthi ye-Lelouma, i-Lindian Resources isilungele ukuba ngumdlali oyinhloko ochungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwe-bauxite lwamazwe ngamazwe. Njengoba ukutholwa kwe-equity sekuqediwe, inkampani ihlela ukuqalisa ukuhlola okuningiliziwe nokuhlelwa kwentuthuko phakathi kuka-2024, okuhloswe ngayo ukuthuthukisa iphrojekthi ibe isizinda sokukhiqiza i-bauxite eNtshonalanga Afrika kanye nokuhlinzeka ngezinto ezibonakalayo ezisimeme emhlabeni jikelele.imboni ye-aluminium eluhlaza(njengezimoto zamandla amasha, i-aerospace, neminye imikhakha).
