Rio Tinto to expand AP60 aluminium smelter in Quebec

Rio Tinto will invest $1.1 billion to expand its AP60 low-carbon aluminium smelter at Complexe Jonquière in Quebec, adding 96 new pots and increasing capacity by approximately 160,000 metric tonnes per year. The expansion coincides with the gradual closure of potrooms at the Arvida smelter.

“This expansion, which will coincide with the gradual closure of potrooms at the Arvida smelter on the same site, will enable Rio Tinto to continue meeting customers’ demand for low-carbon, high-quality aluminium.”riotinto.com
