Alcoa Corporation has signed a binding agreement to acquire South32's aluminium-linked assets, including South Africa's Hillside and idled Bayside smelters in KwaZulu-Natal, Australia's Boddington bauxite mine and Worsley refinery, and Brazil's Mineração Rio do Norte mine and Alumar refinery-smelter, for an upfront $4.1-billion. CEO William Oplinger says the deal, expected to be "cash flow accretive immediately", positions Alcoa as a pure-play upstream aluminium producer, while South32 COO Africa Noel Pillay says Alcoa is well placed to run Hillside, which draws 1 140 MW and contributes nearly R10-billion to South Africa's GDP; its Eskom power contract runs to 2031.
