The Friguia Bauxite and Alumina Complex started operating in the 1960s. It has proven bauxite reserves of 325 million metric tonnes. The complex includes a 160-km rail network which ensures the transportation of products, raw materials and fuel.
On 28 April, 2016, RUSAL and the Republic of Guinea signed an agreement to resume operations at Friguia after a period of mothballing. The first production unit was recommissioned in May 2018 and the plant reached its 50% capacity in Q4.
