Under the agreement, Alcoa Corporation will acquire South32’s stakes in the Worsley Alumina plant in Australia, the Hillside Aluminium plant in South Africa, the MRN bauxite mine in Brazil, the Brazilian alumina refining plant, and the Brazilian aluminum smelting plant. South32 added that Alcoa Corporation will also assume approximately $1.2 billion in cleanup and site-closure costs related to these assets.
