Bauxite Parnassos S.A. began mining bauxite in Greece in 1934; by 1938, production had reached 5 per cent of the global total. Long-term contracts with the Soviet Union covering the period 1956-1958 and with the French company Pechiney in 1963 were vital to the company's growth to supply a new plant of Pechiney subsidiary Aluminium of Greece S. A. at Aspra Spitia in the Viotia prefecture.

Bauxite. Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. Bauxites vary physically according to the origin and geologic history of their deposits: some deposits are soft, easily crushed, and structureless; some are hard, dense, and pisolitic, or pealike; still others are porous but strong or are stratified or largely pseudomorphic after their parent rock.

But in the late 1980s, the government began offering foreign companies the chance to rebuild and expand the bauxite industry. The Reynolds Bauxite Company, formerly the owner of the mine at Kwakwani, was one of the first foreign firms allowed back into Guyana. It provided managerial assistance to Guymine beginning in 1985.

The Amalgamated Copper Co. took over Daly's Anaconda Copper Mining Co., as well as Heinze's holdings, and eventually all but some of Clark's holdings until after he died in 1925. After the "war", Amalgamated was re-minted into a new Anaconda Copper Mining Company.

The deposit contains an estimated 430mnt of bauxite, and the mining company aims to produce between 6mnt and 10mnt of bauxite per year. Furthermore, in August 2018 Alufer Mining completed the development of and began production at the Bel Air project in Guinea, planning to produce 5.5mnt of bauxite per year, which will ramp up to 10mnt per year over a 15-year period.
