Alumina - Total alumina production increased by 18% in the 2013 financial year to a record 4.9 million tonnes underpinned by the ramp up of the Efficiency and Growth project at Worsley (Australia).

Aluminium - Total aluminium production increased by 2% in the 2013 financial year to 1.2 million tonnes. Production benefited from strong operating performance at our Southern African smelters during the June 2013 quarter with Hillside (South Africa) achieving record quarterly production.

Manganese ore - Total manganese ore production increased by 7% in the 2013 financial year to a record 8.5 million tonnes and reflected a substantial improvement in plant availability at GEMCO (Australia).

Manganese alloy - Total manganese alloy volumes were largely unchanged from the 2012 financial year as the recovery in production at TEMCO (Australia) that followed the temporary suspension of operations in the prior period was offset by the permanent closure of energy intensive silicomanganese production at Metalloys (South Africa) in January 2012.

Nickel - Total nickel production was in line with the 2012 financial year as strong operating performance at Cerro Matoso (Colombia) was offset by planned maintenance at the Nickel West Kalgoorlie smelter and Kwinana refinery (both Australia) during the year.
