caption_attribution_description: This bubble map shows the global distribution of bauxite output in 2005 as a percentage of the top producer (Australia - 59,959,000 tonnes). This map is consistent with incomplete set of data too as long as the top producer is known. It resolves the accessibility issues faced by colour-coded maps that may not be properly rendered in old computer screens. Data was extracted on 3rd June 2007.

context_page_description: Bauxite is the most important aluminum ore. This form of rock consists mostly of the minerals gibbsite Al(OH)₃, boehmite γ-AlO, and diaspore α-AlO, in a mixture that usually includes the two iron oxides goethite and hematite, and may include the clay mineral kaolinite, and small amounts of the titanium minerals anatase TiO₂, Ilmenite, FeTiO₃, and FeOTiO₂.
  Bauxite was named after the village Les Baux in southern France, where it was first recognised as containing aluminium and named by the French geologist Pierre Berthier in 1821.
