Bauxite is an advantageous mineral resource in the Guangxi. Exploration of alluvial bauxite in this area has achieved a relatively advanced level, resulting in limited potential for new discoveries.Methods: In contrast, the exploration of sedimentary bauxite remains in its initial stage, and its metallogenic regularity and prospecting directions urgently require further systematic inbestigation. On the Based of collection data of sedimentary bauxite in the Yunnan—Guizhou region, and combined with exploration achievements in recent years, this paper systematically compares the characteristics of sedimentary bauxite in western Guangxi form the aspects of metallogenic geological setting, ore- bearing horizon, aluminum- bearing rock series, orebody geological and ore quality, so as to provide guidance and reference for exploration of sedimentary bauxite in Guangxi. Results: The research results show that the Upper Permian Heshan Formation (P3h) in western Guangxi has a wide distribution and well- developed aluminum- bearing rock series, which has good good prospecting potential is the main target horizon for exploring sedimentary bauxite. Conclusions: The area has conditions to form thick funnel- shaped orebodies. Strengthening the research on karst paleotopography can help discover thick orebodies. However, due to unobvious leaching effect, the ore is mainly composed of pisolitic—oolitic and compact bauxite, with relatively scarce earthy bauxite and relatively lower ore grade.
