Comments on the reserve resource information

  • PLANT CLOSED IN 1994 AS IT LOST ITS CUSTOMER BASE WITH THE COLLAPSE OF THE FSU.

Comments on other economic factors

  • A REPORT FROM C.E.R.N.A. INDICATES THAT THE CAPACITY FOR THE ALMASFUZITO ALUMINA REFINERY IN PRODUCING ALUMINA FOR THE YEAR 1991 WAS PROJECTED TO BE 300,000 METRIC TONS.
  • THE ALMASFUZITO ALUMINA REFINERY HAS A LABOR FORCE OF 1,233 EMPLOYEES AND 339 TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRTIVE STAFF IN BOTH THE PLANT AND THE POWER STATION COMBINED.
  • ELEVEN PERCENT OF THE METALLURGICAL ALUMINA PRODUCED BY THE ALMASFUZITO ALUMINA REFINERY IS SHIPPED TO THE TATABANYA SMELTER OF HUNGALU, WHICH AMOUNTS TO APPROXIMATELY 36,500 TONS PER YEAR. THE MAJORITY OF THE REMAINDER OF THE METALLURGICAL ALUMINA IS SHIPPED TO THE USSR IN EXCHANGE FOR ALUMINUM, AND FINALLY, WHAT IS LEFT OVER AFTER THE USSR GETS ITS SHARE IS SHIPPED TO OTHER EXPORT MARKETS. SOME OF THE SPECIALITY ALUMINA IS USED DOMESTICALLY AND THE REST IS SHIPPED TO THE EXPORT MARKETS.
