The procedures used for bauxite resource estimation are summarised using examples from Australia, Africa, South America and Asia. In the all studied cases the bauxite resources were estimated by drilling and sampling drill holes at 0.25–0.5 m intervals. Short sampling intervals are necessary for accurate estimation of the mineralisation contacts.
