In the second quarter of 2011, the Lam Dong Aluminum-Bauxite Complex Project will produce its first alumina products, according to the Vietnam National Coal Mineral Industries Group.

By the end of 2010, the project’s total investment capital level was nearly VND9.5 billion, accounting for 85 percent of its total investment.

 An ore-bauxite factory in the complex will be put into operation in April this year. At present, the Tan Rai Aluminum Buxite Poject has finalised almost 90 percent of work while the Nhan Co Alumin Project is conducting a geological survey for the implementation of the remaining part in the future.

In addition, infrastructure projects for the development of the aluminum industry such as the Ke Ga Port Construction Project have been approved and will be carried out in the first quarter of this year.

After the visit to Hungary to learn about the causes of the red mud spill, the group gained new experiences in technical and operational standards.

Currently, the group is completing a technical design of a red mud lake project and called on investors to ensure the design quality.
