UC RUSAL, the leading global integrated aluminium producer, announces its operating results for the fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 registering bullish progress in all three business segments: bauxite, alumina and aluminium.
In Q4 2016, Rusal’s total bauxite output totaled 2,841 thousand tons which shows a drop of 11.5% from last quarter production of 3,211 thousand tons. The drop is attributed to reduced bauxite output at the Timan mine which has a capacity of 3.2 million tons per year. In the next quarter the output at the facility is expected to come back to normal capacity.
