Phillip Paulwell, Jamaica's Minister of Mining will in a short while, announce whether UC Rusal, the Russian aluminium conglomerate, will meet the December 31 deadline to reopen one of its plants in Jamaica.
He has scheduled a press conference for 10:00AM on Monday, during which he will say if Rusal will resume operations at the Alpart plant, situated in the south western Jamaia parish of St. Elizabeth, or have its mining rights revoked.
Mr. Paulwell has declined to disclose commitments, given by Rusal, during a meeting last month on the future of Jamaica's bauxite/alumina sector.
