Hydro: the mines it operates or owns, and what they report

Hydro is a listed company headquartered in Norway (Oslo Børs: NHY). This site lists 9 operations tied to it, for bauxite and aluminum: it operates 5 and holds an interest in 4 more. On the operations here where a whole-operation figure can be stated (in metal content, or as the commodity page says for ore and smelted metal), its interests add up to about 1,767,900 tonnes of primary aluminum (2.4% of world output) and 10,516,000 tonnes of bauxite (2.4% of world output). That leaves out operations without such a figure, so it is not the company's total.

How much is that on its interests?

Computed as each operation's whole-operation output in metal content, or as ore or smelted metal where the commodity is measured that way, multiplied by the interest shown. Operations whose output is stated in another form, or only as the owner's share, are left out of this sum, so it understates what the company controls.

Sources

The corporate facts above (headquarters, type, listing) come from the sources listed; no stock prices, valuations or executives are shown. Ownership and output are on the date and period stated on each operation's page. The list covers operations with a published figure for the commodities on this site, so it is not the company's full portfolio.
