Follow-up Report on Domestic Aluminum Resources: Dilemmas of Development.

Abstract

This report is about supply disruptions and price gouging that could endanger aluminum production in this country have spurred Bureau of Mines research on processes to manufacture alumina from nonbauxitic ores. The United States has no large bauxite deposits but it has plentiful deposits of other aluminum ores if the technology can be developed to use them economically. Last July, however, GAO reported to the Congress that Bureau of Mines research in this area was 'fundamentally misdirected' (see EMD-80-63, July 17, 1980). (Author)
