President Irfaan Ali, Prime Minister Mark Phillips, Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn and other government ministers yesterday visited the Bosai Minerals Group Guyana Inc. where an expansion of the Metallurgical Bauxite Project (MAZ) is underway.

This ambitious initiative is set to increase bauxite production from 1 million tonnes annually to 3 million tonnes per annum, a release from the Ministry of Home Affairs yesterday noted.

Key components of the expansion include the construction of a new Bosai wharf and the installation of a conveyor belt system designed to efficiently transport bauxite from the mines directly to the wharf. The wharf, currently at 85% completion, spans approximately 1,200 cubic meters and represents a critical infrastructure upgrade for the project, the release said.
