20th April, Shanxi Aluminium Co. Ltd. (a subordinate of SPIC Group) has restarted the Kuancaoping bauxite mine development project at Ningwu Shanxi. Kuancaoping is one of the bauxite mines that have been allocated to Shanxi Aluminium, with a mining permit initially granted in 2004. Construction of the mine began in February 2010 but was later suspended due to existing unresolved issues. A new integrated mining permit was granted to the Kuancaoping bauxite mine by the Shanxi Bureau of Land and Resources in December 2012, but no feasible development has been made since then.
Restarting the mine development provides a good basis for future development and lays a solid foundation to ensure bauxite supply for Shanxi Aluminium.
