On August 27, 2026, Alurion announced the release of a pre-feasibility study for its Amargosa bauxite-gallium project in Guinea, alongside the commencement of logistics infrastructure planning. The assessment evaluates the technical and economic viability of establishing a scalable export-oriented mining operation within the Atlantic basin region.

Completion of the study provides a foundational framework for subsequent capital allocation decisions and project financing structures. By simultaneously advancing port and transport logistics planning, Alurion aims to streamline the supply chain required for sustained bauxite shipments. The move underscores growing investor interest in West African mineral assets that integrate critical by-product recovery, such as gallium, into conventional alumina feedstock operations.
