Smatec also works in collaboration with DL Investments (Aus) Pty Ltd, Australia represented by Mr David Stribley, to support Bauxite & Alumina industry.

BACS brings in geology, mining, refining, marketing and commercial knowledge for evaluation of a bauxite resource and supports its market positioning. Project specific collaborative teams can be built to best cater to a client’s needs.

We assess the value-in-use of a bauxite specification to benchmark against competing traded bauxites for a specific market. These ‘First Oder’ models assess a primary bauxite specification and the impact of major organic and inorganic impurities in a refinery process including ‘Sweetening’ applications. These tools evaluate all bauxite related costs for alumina manufacturing and determine the pricing potential of bauxite for a specific market.
