Shanxi New Materials mines (merged line): a bauxite operation in China
Shanxi New Materials mines (merged line) is a mine producing bauxite in Shanxi, China, operated by Chalco. The sources report 231.23 10,000 tonnes (万吨), annual output for CY2025; the basis is Whole mine as listed in the company's table of own mines; equity basis not stated. The sources do not give a whole-operation figure in bauxite that can be compared with world output, so no share is computed.

How much does it produce?
| Period | Output | Basis | Where in the source |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY2025 | 231.23 10,000 tonnes (万吨), annual output | Whole mine as listed in the company's table of own mines; equity basis not stated | PDF p.30, 'Own mines' table, row 山西新材料矿, column 年产量(万吨) (annual output); note 4 below the table · Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (中国铝业股份有限公司) |
Status: operating, as of 31 December 2025.
- Chalco's report does not say whether the figure is on an equity basis or whether tonnes are dry or wet, and the line merges several mines, so no share of world output is computed.
- Alumina refineries and aluminum smelters are separate from this bauxite mine entry.

Method and limits
- Reported, not estimated. Output is the figure the operator or owner published, in the unit it used. This site does not estimate output where none is published.
- Shares. A share divides output in bauxite by the USGS world or country total for 2025. Where the operator's year is a fiscal year or the unit is a concentrate or a carbonate equivalent, the share is approximate or not given.
- What is compared. Operators print tonnes of bauxite on a dry or wet basis, or do not say which. USGS bauxite mine production is in dry tonnes, so where the basis differs or is not stated the share is indicative.
- Whole operation or owner's share. The basis column says which. A joint venture's output is never counted twice.
- Partial list. Only operations with a published figure are listed, so the rank is among those on this site, not among every bauxite mine. Shares of a country's output mix periods and bases, so treat them as indicative.
