Deposit MILS DATA FOR "YEAR OF INITIAL PRODUCTION" IS THE YEAR OF START-UP. DATA WAS BASED ON THE 1987 ALUMINUM AVAILABILITY AND SUPPLY MODEL STUDY. DATE OF DATA IS AS 1987, 1988 UNLESS OTHER- WISE NOTED. ALL GRADE DATA IS IN TERMS OF WT PCT CONTAINED ALUMINUM. CAPACITY DATA ON THE CONCENTRATOR AND PRODUCT DATA SETS IS IN TERMS OF MT ALUMINA (AL2O3) CONCENTRATE PER DAY, IE, "MT CONC/DAY". COST IS IN AVG 1989 US DOLLARS. PRODUCT DATA SET "OUTPUT" DATA IS IN TERMS OF MT OF ALUMINUM METAL PER DAY, IE, "MT COMMOD/DAY". COST IS IN AVG89 US$. TRANSPORT DATA RECORDS 01, 02 WERE USED IN THE 1987 ALUMINUM AVAILABILITY, ECONOMIC EVALUATION FOR THIS SMELTER. THE COST IS IN JAN 1987 US DOLLARS. DISTANCE DATA WAS NOT USED SO THAT SMELTER ECONOMIC EVALUATIONS WERE CONSISTANT THE UNIT OF COST IS IN $/MT ALUMINA CONS, NOT $/KM/MT AS LISTED ON THE PRINTOUT. RECORDS 03 TO 05 WERE USED IN SUPPLY MODEL STUDY. COSTS ARE IN AVG 1989 US DOLLARS, UNITS ARE IN $/KM/MT ALUMINA CONS. COSTS WERE BASED ON BASED ON THE ESTIMATED DISTANCE TO KEEP TRANSPORT COSTS CONSISTANT FOR THE SUPPLY MODEL.
