UNITED States engineering company, Fluor Daniel, launched a $1,3-million feasibility study into a second Mozambican aluminum smelter in the coastal city of Beira on Tuesday. The proposed smelter would produce up to 250000 tons of aluminum per year from its Savane site, 25km north of Beira. Mozambican national energy director Casimiro Fransisco said the 10-month study will attempt to determine whether a new smelter would be viable with direct competition from the $1,7-billion Mozal smelter near the capital, Maputo, and two similar smelters in the South African town of Richards Bay.
