Aluminum & Bauxite (Al)
700 million tonnes of proven bauxite reserves with potential extending to 6 billion tonnes. Combined with hydroelectric-powered smelting at Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela offers the lowest-carbon primary aluminum on Earth.
Bauxite deposits also contain recoverable gallium (20.2 ppm) and scandium (6.7 ppm) as high-value byproducts. The Guri Dam provides some of the cheapest hydroelectric power on Earth, enabling carbon-neutral aluminum smelting at competitive cost.
Reserve Valuation
Venezuela holds 700 million tonnes of proven bauxite reserves, with geological potential extending to 6 billion tonnes — one of the largest bauxite endowments in the world. At approximately 4 tonnes of bauxite per tonne of alumina and 2 tonnes of alumina per tonne of aluminum, these reserves represent centuries of production capacity. Bauxite also contains recoverable gallium (20.2 ppm) and scandium (6.7 ppm) as valuable byproducts.
Hydroelectric Advantage
Aluminum smelting is energy-intensive — electricity accounts for 30-40% of production costs. Venezuela's CVG Alcasa and Venalum smelters in Ciudad Guayana operate on hydroelectric power from the Guri Dam, producing some of the lowest-carbon aluminum on Earth. In an era of carbon border taxes (CBAM), this is a decisive competitive advantage.
