Aluminum is found in the crust of the Earth. It makes up the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, following oxygen and silicon, and followed by iron. It makes up roughly 8% of the Earth's crust, so this element is not very rare.

Aluminum is a cheap metal. It is useable for everyday things like aluminum foil and soda cans.

The most economical ore for processing is bauxite -- hydrated aluminum oxide, often with hydrated iron(III) oxide as an impurity. Bauxite is found in many places around the world, but mostly in tropical countries.

Australia is the world's largest producer of aluminum/alumina, with a major resource at Weipa (Gulf of Carpentaria), and Indonesia, China, and Brazil following. Guinea and Vietnam probably have larger reserves.
