Leighton and SNC-Lavalina will operate through their unincorporated joint venture LSL and will initially be responsible for the definitive feasibility study at the Northern Territory refinery. Alcan plans to complete all the detailed feasibility work by mid 2004 to allow for a 2007 commissioning of the expansion. To cost the Montreal-based aluminium producer an expected US$900 million, the expansion is intended to take the Gove refinery’s capacity to 3.5 million tpy of smelter grade alumina from 2 million tpy currently. "The appointment of a world-class EPCM partner is a substantial step towards achieving successful completion of the detailed feasibility study for the proposed expansion project," said Michael Hanley, President of Alcan‘s bauxite, alumina and specialty chemicals business group. He added that the Gove expansion is a key component of Alcan’s strategy to double economic value every five years. In December 2000 Alcan bought 30 percent of the Gove refinery and related bauxite mine from Gove Aluminium Ltd. for US$393 million. The acquisition gave Alcan 100 percent of Gove.
