III Mining of Bauxite. In the mining of bauxite, first the size and shape of the deposite are determined by core drilling. Trees, if present, are harvested and the overburden removed and set aside. Then the bauxite is broken up, often with the aid of explosives, and removed with conventional earthmoving equipment.
· Explosives made only a small (1–8%) contribution to the overall greenhouse gas emissions, amounting to 0.4 and 0.7 kg CO 2 e/t for bauxite and iron ore respectively, and 9.1 kg CO 2 e/t concentrate (or 0.6 kg CO 2 e/t ore) for copper concentrate.

Since bauxite occurs naturally at the surface of the Earth's crust, mining practices tend to be straightforward. Surface pits are opened using explosives to reveal bauxite beds. The bauxite ore is then excavated and loaded into trucks or rail cars for transportation to the converting or processing centre.
