Bauxite comprises mainly of the
aluminium minerals, gibbsite, boehmite,
and diaspore, mixed with the two iron
oxides goethite and haematite, the aluminium clay
mineral kaolinite and small amounts of anatase and ilmenite.
Australia is the leading manufacturer of bauxite in the world. It is a most
important producer of gold, diamond, iron ore, tin and nickel. It is as well
rich in copper, lead, zinc and manganese. Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie areas of
Western Australia contains the major deposits of gold.
