Production volumes at Timan decreased by 5.5% QoQ to stand at 839 thousand tonnes and Kindia production volumes decreased by 11.0% QoQ to 717 thousand tonnes due to scheduled operational maintenance works.

Bad weather conditions affected operational performance of Bauxite Company of Guyana and production dropped 41.6% QoQ to 161 thousand tonnes and Windalco production dropped 5.5% QoQ to 476 thousand tonnes.

North Urals bauxite production dropped by 11.0% QoQ to 548 thousand tonnes in order to feed Urals alumina refinery from accumulated inventory as a part of working capital management programme.

As for the alumina segment results are concerned; in Q3 2017, Rusal reported a total alumina production of 1,965 thousand tonnes, an increase of 1.9% from the last quarter.

The QoQ production increase was mainly driven by continuous capacity ramp up at Russia-based refineries post completion of upgrades earlier in 2017. It was supported by growing production at Aughinish refinery on improved quality of bauxite supply.  It was partially offset by a 3.5% drop in Nikolaev refinery output on the back of scheduled maintenance works.
