Rio Tinto Alcan’s Gove operations are located 650 kilometres east of Darwin and 3,200 kilometres north-west of Sydney, near the remote East Arnhem community of Nhulunbuy.
From this remote location, Rio Tinto Alcan supplies alumina and bauxite for the international aluminium industry. In the highly competitive world alumina market, Rio Tinto Alcan is regarded as one of the most cost-efficient producers with a commitment to innovation and excellence.
The tour will include a visit to Gove’s bauxite mining operations whose rehabilitation program was the recipient of the Excellence in Environmental Management Award at the 2007 Australian Mining Prospect Awards. It will also offer the opportunity to view the expanded alumina refinery operations with a name-plate capacity of 3.8 million tonnes.
