<p>UC RUSAL, the leading global integrated aluminium producer, announces its operating results for the fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2016 registering bullish progress in all three business segments: bauxite, alumina and aluminium.<br /><br /><img style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.alcircle.com/uploads/images/rusal%20bauxite.jpg" alt="News" width="517" height="226" /><br />In Q4 2016, Rusal’s total bauxite output totaled 2,841 thousand tons which shows a drop of 11.5% from last quarter production of 3,211 thousand tons. The drop is attributed to reduced bauxite output at the Timan mine which has a capacity of 3.2 million tons per year. In the next quarter the output at the facility is expected to come back to normal capacity.<br /><br />{googleAdsense}<br /><br />For the full year 2016, bauxite output totalled 12,187 thousand tons registering a 0.6% increase YOY from 12,112 thousand tons in 2015.
