Resource Base

Three gigatonnes of proven bauxite beneath the canopy.

Seam's tenement portfolio spans 340,000 hectares across two of the world's highest-grade bauxite provinces. Drill-defined resources carry average available alumina content of 47.8%, placing every tonne in the top quartile of global feedstock quality. Reserve statements are independently audited to JORC 2012 and updated annually.

Refining Operations

From red ore to white powder in 38 kilometres.

The Seam refinery complex sits 38 km from the mine gate, connected by a sealed conveyor corridor that eliminates road-haulage variability. The Bayer circuit processes 14.8 Mt of ore per annum, yielding 4.2 Mt of smelter-grade alumina at 99.2% Al₂O₃. Continuous X-ray fluorescence monitoring ensures every outbound parcel meets specification before loading.

Supply Chain

Port Seam handles 40,000 DWT vessels on a 72-hour berth cycle.

The dedicated export terminal at Port Seam operates two ship loaders rated at 4,500 tph combined. Stockpile capacity of 380,000 t provides buffer against weather windows, and the terminal's 14-day average transit time to principal smelter clusters in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East is independently benchmarked against the top three global alumina exporters annually.

Rehabilitated to Native Forest · Certified
Rehabilitated former mine site with dense native tropical forest canopy reclaiming red earth terraces showing successful ecological restoration programme

Land Stewardship

Every bench mined is a forest returned within a decade.

Seam operates under a progressive rehabilitation commitment: for every hectare of active mine footprint, 1.3 ha of certified native forest is established. The programme uses locally-sourced endemic species propagated in Seam's own nursery, achieving canopy closure within 7–9 years. Independent ecological audits confirm biodiversity indices in rehabilitated zones now exceed pre-disturbance baselines in 62% of assessed plots.

Seam's parcel consistency is the tightest we've contracted in 18 years of alumina procurement. XRF variance across a full Panamax cargo was under 0.08% — that's exceptional.

The rehabilitation data they publish is auditable and independently verified. For a sovereign fund evaluating ESG-linked resource equity, that level of transparency is non-negotiable.

We locked our lightweight-material pipeline for three years based on Seam's reserve statement and logistics performance data. First contract ran without a single missed vessel window.
