ALCAN GOVE P.L.

Alcan Gove P.L. is a business entity that was historically associated with mining and refining operations, particularly within the Gove Peninsula in the Northern Territory of Australia. It was a subsidiary of the larger Alcan Inc., which was a Canadian company known for its production of aluminum and packaging.


The major operation associated with Alcan Gove was the Gove Operations bauxite mine and alumina refinery. The Gove Operations involved the extraction of bauxite, which is the raw material used to produce alumina. The alumina, in turn, is used to produce aluminum, a versatile metal used in various industries including automotive, aerospace, and construction.


Alcan Gove’s activities were significant in the region for their economic impact, including employment and contributions to local infrastructure. However, due to the environmental and social footprint of such large-scale industrial activities, the company also engaged in various environmental management and community engagement initiatives.


Subsequent to Alcan Inc.'s acquisition by Rio Tinto in 2007, the Gove Operations became part of Rio Tinto Alcan's portfolio. Over the years, the ownership and operational structures may have evolved, reflecting changes in global commodity markets, operational efficiencies, and corporate strategies.


For the latest information, especially considering that company operations and structures can change, it would be prudent to refer directly to the latest corporate reports or official communications from Rio Tinto or any other entity currently managing the Gove Operations.
