Gallium Reference Rate — 10-Day Trend
All prices in ₹ per gram · daily rate, updated once per day
There's No Such Thing as a Gallium Mining Company
Search for "gallium mining stocks" expecting a dedicated producer, and you'll come up empty. Gallium doesn't get mined on its own — it's recovered as a byproduct while processing bauxite (aluminium ore) and, in smaller volumes, zinc ore. Every company connected to gallium production is, first and foremost, an aluminium or zinc business.
Today's reference rate sits at ₹22.98 per gram on September 17, 2026. That number tracks the commodity itself — not any single company's share price, which is shaped by far more than gallium alone.
- Rio Tinto: extracted gallium from its Quebec alumina refinery
- Alcoa: pursued gallium recovery at its Wagerup refinery in Western Australia
- Teck Resources: examined gallium recovery at its Trail operations in British Columbia
Gallium Reference Rate by Weight

Why Non-China Gallium Suddenly Matters to These Companies
For years, byproduct gallium recovered outside China simply wasn't worth the trouble — Chinese refiners could supply the market cheaply enough that installing a gallium-recovery circuit at a Western alumina plant didn't pencil out. China's 2023 export-licensing controls on gallium changed that calculation for governments and manufacturers who don't want their semiconductor supply chains dependent on a single country's export policy.
Diversified miners, not gallium pure-plays
That's the honest caveat before naming any company: Rio Tinto, Alcoa and Teck Resources are large, globally diversified miners where gallium is, at best, a minor side project bolted onto an existing alumina or zinc refinery. None of these stocks moves primarily on gallium news — iron ore, aluminium demand, and broader mining-sector sentiment drive far more of their share price than a gallium recovery line ever will.
| Company | Gallium-Related Asset | Primary Business |
|---|---|---|
| Rio Tinto | Quebec alumina refinery gallium extraction | Aluminium, iron ore, diversified mining |
| Alcoa | Wagerup refinery gallium recovery project (Western Australia) | Aluminium and alumina |
| Teck Resources | Trail metallurgical operations (British Columbia) | Copper, zinc, diversified mining |

Reading These Projects Honestly Before Considering Exposure
None of the recovery projects above are anywhere near the scale of China's refining base, and that gap doesn't close overnight — permitting, engineering, and ramping a new byproduct-recovery circuit at an existing refinery takes years, not months. Anyone drawn to these names specifically for gallium upside should expect that story to unfold slowly, and to remain a small fraction of what actually moves each company's stock day to day.
For gallium's own price trend, separate from any single company, the comparison table and history above track the live reference rate, and the site's gallium price history page holds a longer record.

Gallium Mining Stocks — Common Questions
No. Gallium is recovered as a byproduct of bauxite and zinc processing, so every company touching gallium production is fundamentally an aluminium or zinc business first, with gallium recovery as a smaller add-on line, not a standalone gallium miner.
Rio Tinto has extracted gallium from its Quebec alumina refinery, Alcoa has pursued a gallium recovery project at its Wagerup alumina refinery in Western Australia, and Teck Resources has looked at gallium recovery at its Trail metallurgical operations in British Columbia. These are real, publicly discussed projects, though scale and timelines vary and should be checked against each company's own disclosures.
Because China refines the overwhelming majority of the world's gallium and introduced export-licensing controls on the metal in 2023, governments and companies outside China have real incentive to diversify supply — this page describes that trend qualitatively rather than assigning it a specific market-share number, since precise figures shift and vary by source.
Only a sliver of it. These are large, diversified mining companies where aluminium, iron ore, and other business lines dominate the share price far more than any gallium side-project. Their stock reflects the whole company, not a gallium-specific bet.
That depends on individual goals and risk tolerance, and this page isn't a recommendation either way. What's worth understanding first is that gallium exposure through a major miner is diluted exposure — the underlying commodity story and the stock's actual performance can move quite differently from each other.
