A $1.8 billion bet to keep Brazil’s bauxite flowing until 2041
The Novas Minas project will maintain MRN’s 12.5 million metric tons/year bauxite output while strengthening supply links across Brazil’s aluminum chain.

Aluminium falls 0.73% in India as supply recovery, China exports and stronger dollar pressure prices
Aluminium prices came under renewed pressure on October 1 as expectations of improving supply, stronger Chinese exports and a firmer USD weighed on the market.
