Barakah Group › Minerals Mineral Division

Bauxite
& Beyond

Guinea holds the world's largest bauxite reserves (approximately 7 billion tonnes). Barakah Group specializes in strategic minerals export from West Africa—bauxite, battery-grade lithium, copper, and iron ore—positioning itself at the intersection of resource ownership, export infrastructure, and institutional investor access. We unlock value across aluminium, EV battery, and copper supply chains through comprehensive mineral trading, joint venture structuring, and export facilitation for mining companies, refiners, and commodity traders across the UAE, Europe, and Asia.

Strategic resources from West Africa

AlBauxite

Guinea holds roughly a quarter of global reserves. Primary feedstock for the world's aluminium.

FeIron Ore

Massive high-grade deposits across the Simandou and Nimba ranges.

CuCopper

The metal of electrification — strategic conductor for grids, EVs, and renewables.

LiLithium

The defining mineral of the energy transition. Battery-grade focus across Mali's rising frontier.

What We Do

Core Mineral Operations

Resource Activities

Systematic geological survey, sampling, and assessment of bauxite, iron ore, copper, and lithium deposits across Guinea, Mali, and Senegal. We conduct due diligence, grade verification, and geochemical analysis for mining feasibility and supply chain quality assurance.

Joint Venture Structuring

Engineered commercial agreements and joint venture partnerships between Guinean mineral licence holders and international capital (mining companies, refiners, traders, investment funds). We handle legal documentation, regulatory compliance, and profit-sharing arrangements.

Export Facilitation
Complete export logistics and customs coordination for bulk mineral shipments (bauxite, lithium, copper, iron ore) from West Africa to international markets. DDP Incoterms, secure transportation, insurance, and compliance documentation included.

Licence Acquisition

Strategic advisory on acquiring, renewing, and transferring artisanal, small-scale, and mid-scale mineral mining licences in Guinea, Mali, and Senegal. We facilitate government negotiations, regulatory compliance, and resource exploration permissions.

Strategic Minerals Trading & Supply Chain

Bauxite: The Aluminum Foundation

Guinea contains approximately 7 billion tonnes of bauxite reserves—one quarter of the world's total. Bauxite is the primary ore of aluminium, essential for construction, automotive, aerospace, and packaging industries. Barakah Group sources high-grade bauxite (Al₂O₃ >50%) from licensed operators, providing direct access to supplies for aluminium refineries, smelters, and commodity traders across Europe, Asia, and the UAE.

Our bauxite exports include full geochemical analysis, quality certification, and logistics management for bulk shipments.

Battery-Grade Lithium & Copper

Lithium is the cornerstone of the global energy transition—essential for EV batteries, renewable energy storage, and grid-scale power systems. Mali and Guinea hold emerging lithium deposits. Copper is the critical conductor metal for electrification, EVs, renewable grids, and telecommunications. Barakah Group sources battery-grade lithium and industrial copper from West African operators, serving EV manufacturers, battery makers, power utilities, and electronics producers worldwide.

We ensure compliance with battery standards and geochemical certification for every shipment.

Mineral Export Standards & Compliance

OECD Conflict-Free

All minerals sourced with OECD due diligence documentation. No connection to armed conflict or human rights abuses. Risk assessments and traceability for every shipment.

Geochemical Analysis

Independent third-party assay and geochemical testing. Grade verification, purity certificates, and quality documentation for every shipment to buyers.
