Australia has banned with immediate effect the export of alumina and aluminum ores to Russia as it widens its sanctions on the country over its invasion of Ukraine.
SYDNEY—
Aluminum is also a critical input into armaments industries and Australia supplies nearly 20% of Russia's alumina, it added. Australia, a global mining giant that in 2021 exported bauxite, alumina and aluminium worth 13.75 billion Australian dollars, equivalent to $10.2 billion, said it would work with exporters and peak bodies affected by the ban to find new and expand existing markets.
Australia on Sunday also said it would donate at least 70,000 metric tons of thermal coal to support Ukraine's energy security. Whitehaven Coal Ltd. has arranged shipment, with Australia footing the bill for the coal and delivery to the destination port.
