Canyon Resources

Canyon Resources is a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing high-grade bauxite projects in Central Africa. The company's primary asset is a large-scale bauxite deposit located in Cameroon, containing over one billion tonnes of mineral resources with an initial ore reserve of 144 million tonnes. The project is designed as a long-life, staged open-pit development with planned annual production scaling from 1.2 million tonnes to 10 million tonnes. Mined bauxite will be transported via regional rail corridors to deepwater ports for global export to alumina refiners, supporting long-term international supply.
