Rio Tinto will invest C$250 million (US$199 million) to extend operations at the Vaudreuil alumina refinery, in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Québec, Canada.
The project includes the construction of a filtration plant and the optimization of the Jonquière complex bauxite residue site.
This investment will extend operations at the Vaudreuil refinery beyond 2022.
