ABx Group Ltd is an Australian resources company built around bauxite, the ore used to make aluminium. It explores and develops bauxite deposits, mainly in Australia, and works to move those deposits toward mining, processing, and shipment. Its customers are the industrial buyers in the aluminium supply chain, especially companies that need a reliable source of bauxite feedstock.

The company makes money by finding and developing bauxite resources and, if projects advance, selling the ore into the market under supply or offtake arrangements. ABx also has a technology and downstream angle through work related to aluminium fluoride, a chemical used in aluminium smelting. That gives it more than one way to participate in the aluminium value chain, rather than relying only on mining one raw material.

What makes ABx different is that it sits at the early part of the aluminium supply chain, where resource access and project development matter more than brand or retail distribution. Its business depends on turning geology into saleable industrial material, which means its value comes from the quality of its deposits, the economics of getting them to market, and its ability to connect mines to smelters and chemical users.
