Guinea's CBG restarted bauxite exports early on Sunday after a one-week halt that was caused by damage to a conveyor belt used to load ships, a source at the company told Reuters.
"The loading of ships restarted overnight after workers finished the repairs to the conveyor," the source said, asking not to be named.
CBG, a joint venture between Guinea's government, Rio Tinto and Alcoa , is the world's largest single exporter of the aluminum ore bauxite with annual shipments of around 13 million tonnes.
