Boasting one of the world's largest reserves of bauxite, the main source of aluminium, Guinea has become one of the leading global producers of the mineral. Its West African neighbours - Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Mali - as well as Cameroon, Tanzania and other countries across the continent have begun to move in to the bauxite market.
