ContactAustralia is the world’s largest producer of bauxite. In 2020, Australian bauxite production was 102 million tonnes (Mt). 37 Mt of bauxite was exported, and the remainder converted to Australian alumina. The major Australian bauxite mines are: Boddington (Western Australia) South32. Gove (Northern Territory) Rio Tinto Aluminium.
