Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), a premium aluminum producer based in the UAE, is planning to set up an alumina refinery with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of alumina in Guinea, and the project will be carried out by its wholly-owned bauxite mining subsidiary Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC).

GAC is equally owned by Mubadala Development Company and Investment Corporation of Dubai. It focused on advancing its wholly-owned bauxite and alumina export plans in the Boké region of northwestern Guinea.
