Аннотация:The article is devoted to the analyses of the development of the bauxite mining industry of the world and Guinea for the period 1950-2018. Information base there is an international statistical database of Mineral Yearbook (Metals and Minerals); International Aluminium Institute; International Council on Mining on Mining and Metals; World Mineral Production; Mineral commodity summaries. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach. Statistical, comparative and analytical research methods have been used. Shifts in the spatial organization of the bauxite mining industry were analyzed at the level of all countries and of 7 major regions in 1950-2018. The analysis showed that, the composition of the Top 10 countries in bauxite mining has completely changed. Australia, China and Guinea are the world’s biggest bauxite producer (2018). The share of these three countries is more than 65% of global bauxite production. Top 10 countries account for 95% of bauxite mining in the world. The positions of Guinea have always been consistently high (since 1990, 2-3 place). Shifts in the spatial organization of this extractive industry sector at the regional and global levels are identified. It is proved that the positions of large regions in the world mining of bauxite have changed. The leading regions were Central and South America, Europe and North America in 1950. In 2018, the leaders are Asia, Oceania (Australia) and Africa.
