Fastmarkets Bauxite and Alumina 2025 is a strategic platform that aims to build solid relationships with stakeholders across the value chain: producers, refiners, traders, logistics providers, logistics providers, policy makers, and technical partners. On the sidelines of the conferences, Société Minière de Boké (SMB) will actively participate in exchanges in order to nourish collective reflection, by providing its perspective on the current dynamics of the sector. According to Frédéric Bouzigues, CEO of Société Minière de Boké, the company's participation in this event “testifies to our commitment to remain connected to the major dynamics of the sector, after 10 years of existence. It is also an opportunity to share our Guinean experience in the face of the global challenges of the industry. International collaboration is critical to building a more resilient and sustainable mining future.”
