Chalco Guizhou puts Maiba Bauxite Mine into full operation

Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd (Chalco)’s Guizhou branch put its Maiba bauxite mine, which has a designed capacity of 500,000 tpy, into full operation this month.

With a total investment of 430 million yuan ($70 million), Chalco Guizhou’s began construction of the Maiba bauxite mine in August 2007. It is expected to benefit China’s largest aluminium producer with a higher percentage of self-supplied ores and lower alumina production costs.
