His Excellency President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, Prime Minister Hon. Brigadier (Ret’d) Mr. Mark Phillips, joined by Hon. Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Robeson Benn and other government ministers, visited the Bosai Minerals Group Guyana Inc. where a significant expansion of the Metallurgical Bauxite Project ( MAZ) is underway. This ambitious initiative is set to increase bauxite production from 1 million tonnes annually to 3 million tonnes per annum.

Key components of the expansion include the construction of a new Bosai wharf and the installation of a 20KM conveyor belt system designed to efficiently transport bauxite from the mines directly to the wharf. The wharf, currently at 85% completion, spans approximately 1,200 cubic meters and represents a critical infrastructure upgrade for the project.

The expansion project is being executed by China Road and Bridge Construction Company (CRBC) in collaboration with local partner Japarts on behalf of Bosai. This development is expected to significantly boost the local economy by creating approximately 300 jobs for residents.

Minister Benn expressed optimism about the project’s impact, stating, “This expansion not only triples our bauxite production capacity but also underscores our commitment to fostering economic growth and creating job opportunities for our people.”
