Production cuts affect Rio Tinto’s Q3 2017 aluminium production

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 1MINS READ

Rio Tinto released the production results of alumina and aluminium for the quarter third quarter of 2017.  The company’s aluminium production dropped due to production curtailment at the Boyne smelter and lower production at the Sohar smelter.

The quarterly aluminium production was three per cent lower than the third quarter of last year. Rio Tinto produced 887,000 tonnes of aluminium. In the first nine months of 2017, the company produced 2.6 million tonnes of aluminium.

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

“Strong operational performances were achieved across most sites, reflecting process improvements that have been embedded throughout the business.”

 “This was offset by production curtailment at the Boyne smelter due to higher power prices in Queensland and by lower production at the non-managed Sohar smelter due to a power interruption incident on 4 August that led to the cessation of operations. The gradual re-start of operations commenced on 15 September,” the company said.
