Under the arrangement, the joint venture will have long-term access to dedicated power at competitive rates. Alcan will also have the option to acquire up to 80% of a new 250,000 tonne per year pot line already under construction.

The joint venture proposal has just been sent to the Chinese government for approval. The investment is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2004 pending these approvals.
