Deposit MILS DATA IN THE "INITIALYEAR OF PRODUCTION" FIELD IS THE YEAR OF SMELTER START-UP. ALL DATA IS BASED ON THE 1987 ALUMINUM AVAILABILITY STUDY AND THE NETWORK SUPPLY MODEL STUDY. ALL GRADE DATA IS IN TERMS OF WT PCT CONTAINED ALUMINUM. ALL SMELTER INPUT CAPACITY DATA IS IN MT OF ALUMINA (AL2O3) CONCENTRATE. ALL SMELTER OUTPUT CAPACITY DATA IS IN MT OF ALUMINUM METAL PRODUCTION. TRANSPORTATION RECORDS 01 AND 02 ARE GENERAL DATA, THEY WERE USED IN THE ALUMINUM AVAILABILITY STUDY. RECORDS 03 TO 05 ARE MORE SPECIFIC, THEY WERE USED IN THE NETWORK SUPPLY MODEL STUDY. 1987 AL STUDY, ESTIMATED ALUMINA INPUT IS 294000 MTPY AL CON. 1987 AL STUDY, ISTIMATED AL METAL PROD. IS 147,178 MTPY. FILE REVIEWED 8/92. NO CHANGES MADE.
