Below is a list of major Aluminum projects in Cameroon, which is seeking to diversify its traditionally oil-driven economy, the largest in central Africa.
- Rio Tinto Alcan has partnered Cameroon's government in Alucam for an operation scheduled to include a 1 million tonne aluminum smelter at Kribi. Rio has said the project, including a 1,000 megawatt hydroelectric dam to power the smelter, will cost 140 billion CFA francs （$273.3 million）. Construction timeline is 2015-18.
- Cameroon Alumina Limited （CAL）, a bauxite mining joint venture formed by U.S. firm Hydromines, the United Arab Emirates's Dubai Aluminum, and India's Hindalco Industries, announced in November it found 550 million tonnes of bauxite and is targeting another 200 million tonnes.
It applied for a mining permit in December and start-up is planned for 2013. The consortium plans to invest $5-6 billion in the bauxite mining and refinery project at Ngaoundal, north of the capital, Yaounde, and a railway linking the project to the port of Kribi, 860 km away. The expected bauxite output is 4.5-9 million tonnes per annum.
