Chinese Firm to Kick Off Construction on Bintan Bauxite Smelter in January

Shandong Nanshan Aluminium, China's second-largest aluminum producer, will start construction on its $2 billion manufacturing complex in Bintan, Riau Islands, in January.
The company is set to build a smelter, dams and a 2,800-megawatt power plant to produce aluminium ingots, powder, foil and sheet, Riau interim governor Agung Mulyana said on Thursday.
"It has been decided that we will establish a 2,000-hectare industrial complex in Bintan," he said, adding that the company would source bauxite from Kalimantan.
