Chalco starts work on 600KA smelter
Chalco starts work on 600KA smelter
Another 600KA smelter will be appearing on the world stage in the next couple of years. Chalco has started foundation work for their new smelter, in Qinghai province.
The new smelter will be integrated with a coal production and power station facility. Apparently it will cost in the order of RMB 10 billion, or about US$1.5 billion. No word yet on the capacity or the expected start-up date, but we estimate it will be in 2014.
We understand that this smelter will also be something of a test or pilot plant, perhaps similar to RTA’s 600KA plant in Canada.
