Deposit MILS DATA FOR "YEAR OF INITIAL PRODUCTION" IS THE YEAR OF START-UP. ALL DATA ARE BASED ON THE 1987 ALUMINUM AVAILABILITY AND SUPPLY STUDY. DATE OF THE DATA IS 1987, 1988, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. ALL GRADE DATA IS IN TERMS OF WT PCT CONTAINED ALUMINUM. CAPACITY DATA ON THE CONCENTRATOR AND PRODUCT DATA SETS IS IS TERMS OF MT OF ALUMINA (AL2O3) CONCENTRATE PER DAY, IE, "MT CONC/DAY". COSTS ARE AVG. 1989 U.S. DOLLARS. PRODUCT DATA SET "OUTPUT" DATA IS IN TERMS OF MT OF ALUMINUM METAL PER DAY, IE, "MT COMMOD/DAY". COSTS ARE AVG. 89US$ TRANSPORT RECORDS 01, AND 02 WERE USED IN THE ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF THIS SMELTER, FOR THE 1987 ALUMINUM AVAILABILITY STUDY. COST DATA IS IN JAN 1987 US DOLLARS. UNITS ARE IN $/MT ALUMINA, NOT IN $/KM/MT, AS THE DATA BASE PRINTOUT INDICATES. RECORD 03 WAS USED IN THE ALUMINUM SUPPLY STUDY. COST DATA IS JAN 1989 US DOLLARS, UNITS ARE IN $/KM/MT.
