South32 and Alcoa Corporation have announced plans to restart their Alumar aluminium smelter in Brazil, with first production due in the June quarter. The two companies intend to spend around $USS175 million ($243 million) on the restart, and are intending to only use renewable energy. South32 owns 40 per cent of the smelter, and will contribute $US70 million as its share of the cost of getting it restarted. Full production capacity of 447,000 tonnes per annum is expected to be reached by the March 2023 quarter.
