Bauxite (named after the town of Les Baux in the south of France where
it was first found) is an ore of differing quality with aluminium hydroxides
as its main component. Bauxite is the raw material used in the production
of aluminium and is obtained by strip mining. The largest deposits can
today be found in Australia, Guinea and Brazil.
