Rio Tinto¡¯s 2017 alumina production down on maintenance work at Queensland refinery

Rio Tinto’s alumina production for the fourth quarter of 2017 was one per cent lower than the fourth quarter of 2016. The total alumina production stood at 2 million tonnes in Q4 2017.

For 2017, Rio Tinto’s alumina production reduced to 8.1 million tonnes.  “Alumina production for 2017 was in line with 2016, with a strong performance at Yarwun partially offset by lower production at the Queensland Alumina refinery due to major maintenance,” according to company’s press release.

Rio Tinto’s share of production in 2018 is unchanged at 8.0 to 8.2 million tonnes of alumina.

“The business performed well in the fourth quarter, and we finished the year in line with guidance across all major products,” Rio Tinto chief executive J-S Jacques said.
