Tan Rai bauxite plant years behind schedule

The Tan Rai bauxite factory, part of the Lam Dong Aluminum-Bauxite Complex Project in the central highlands province of Lam Dong, did not come into operation yesterday as planned because it was still under construction, the project management board said.

The board said the delay - 2 years behind schedule - was because the construction process relied on complicated technology and trials had not gone as smoothly as expected.

The factory was expected to churn out its first products in early December, they said. Currently, the main facilities have been completed and about 100,000 tonnes of raw ore have been produced.
