This collaboration with Chinalco underscores EGA’s commitment to expanding its influence and operational capacity in Guinea, further enhancing its position in the global aluminium industry.

The agreement not only highlights the strengthening ties between the UAE and China but also sets the stage for significant industrial and economic development in Guinea, benefiting the global aluminium supply chain.
