[SMM Aluminum Express News] Australia, Japan, the US and Alcoa have reached a final investment decision to develop a gallium production facility at Alcoa's Wagerup alumina refinery in Western Australia. The project will recover gallium from the existing Bayer process without requiring additional bauxite mining, supporting supply diversification for the critical mineral while adding value to the refinery's existing alumina operations.
