It said that the increased aluminium production is due to Kitimat smelter, which reached nameplate capacity in April 2016, together with on-going production creep across the other smelting operations. Rio’s aluminium production decreased by three per cent versus the fourth quarter of 2016.

The company’s share of production in 2017 is expected to be unchanged at 3.5 to 3.7 million tonnes of aluminium.
