The Ghana Bauxite Company Limited (GBC) has invested US$122.97 million. This investment aims to upgrade infrastructure and improve operational efficiency. GBC targets producing six million tonnes of bauxite by year-end.

To achieve this, the company has acquired new equipment. This includes surface miners, haulage trucks, dump trucks, and excavators. They are also retooling existing plants and machinery.
