New Day Aluminum Holdings LLC, through its subsidiary Noranda Alumina, has executed a Letter of Intent with Cemtech Materials Corporation to sell 60,000 tonnes of bauxite residue starting from the Q4 of 2020. This bauxite residue will be used in the cement production process as the raw material for iron (Fe), replacing other current iron-bearing raw materials.

This agreement was preceded by a beneficial use approval from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality for Noranda Alumina to supply bauxite residue into the cement industry.
David D’Addario, Chairman and CEO, New Day Aluminium Holdings, stated: “We are focused on continuously improving the sustainability of our business and reducing our environmental footprint on our path to a zero residue refinery in Gramercy. The approval from the LDEQ coupled with our agreement with Cemtech is another step forward in that endeavour.”

New Day’s holdings include Noranda Alumina, located in Gramercy, Louisiana, which produces smelter grade alumina for the production of aluminium and chemical grade alumina for non-metallurgical applications, as well as Noranda Bauxite, located in St. Ann, Jamaica, which mines and ships bauxite for metallurgical and non-metallurgical applications globally.
