Alumina production is gradually recovering from the abnormally heavy rains between December 2010 and April 2011 which primarily impacted Queensland Alumina’s production affecting bauxite and coal quality, equipment reliability and freight costs. Aluminum production was one per cent higher than H1 2010 reflecting a gradual return to full capacity at the Lynemouth smelter in the UK. Hydrology conditions in the Saguenay returned to normal in H1 2011 following low snow and rain levels experienced in H1 2010 resulting in lower additional power purchases.
