Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation PLC announced the production of alumina and aluminium.
In Q2 2012, bauxite extraction was 3.2% lower than in Q2 2011 and 4.1% higher than in Q1 2012. Alumina production decreased 8.1% versus Q2 2011 but increased 13.9% versus Q1 2012. The production problems caused by interruptions to the supply of soda ash in Q1 2012 were resolved with alumina production returning to full capacity in June 2012. Bauxite extraction decreased YoY in line with the reduced alumina production requirements.
Internal consumption of alumina amounted to 120 kilo tonne representing 31.9% of total alumina production and consistent with the aluminium smelter running at its full 250 kilo tonne per annum capacity. Primary aluminium production in Q2 2012 was 62 kilo tonne with no change against the previous comparable periods.
Electricity generation in Q2 2012 increased 3.3% against Q2 2011 but decreased 23.9% compared with Q1 2012 due to seasonal factors. Supply of electricity to other Group Divisions increased 8.3% against Q2 2011 but decreased 40.7% against Q1 2012 again reflecting seasonal factors and a decrease in power generation during the warmer months. Electricity supply to third parties decreased 2.9% against Q2 2011 and 38.2% against Q1 2012.
