**C.         ALCAN BUSINESSGROUPS**

Alcan has four Business Groups: Bauxite and Alumina, PrimaryMetal, Engineered Products and Packaging. 

**1.         Bauxite and Alumina**

A recognized leader and supplierof alumina refinery technology, the Bauxite andAlumina Business Group comprises all Alcan bauxite mines and deposits,smelter‐grade alumina refineries and specialty aluminas plants.

8

**1.1        Products and Services / Business Units **

1.1.1     ***Bauxite:***Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals in the earth's crust but is nevernaturally found in its pure form. Bauxite is the basic aluminum-bearing ore,mostly found in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. The bauxitemines send their output to supply the alumina plants.

1.1.2     ***Smelter*-*GradeAlumina:***Alumina (aluminum oxide) is produced by a chemical process. Crushed bauxite ismixed with caustic soda under pressure at high temperatures to create sodiumaluminate. Seeded with pure alumina trihydrate, the sodium aluminate is agitatedand, through precipitation, the caustic soda is separated and re-used. Theresulting product is heated to extract water and becomes calcined alumina.Depending upon quality, between four and five tonnes of bauxite are required toproduce approximately two tonnes of alumina.

1.1.3     ***SpecialtyAlumina:***Alcan produces specialty aluminas including products for a wide array ofapplications such as fire retardant products, refractory bricks, zeolite,alum, solid surface products, absorbents and ceramics.

1.1.4     ***Services:***Alcan generates additional revenues through the sale of engineering, technologyand other services relating to bauxite and alumina to both internal customers and third parties. 

In 2005, Alcanused 11.8 million tonnes of bauxite to produce 5 million tonnes of smelter-gradealumina, which were either transferred to its current smelting operationsthrough swap agreements or direct intersegment sales, or sold to third parties.The balance of the smelter requirements, 1.3 million tonnes, was purchased fromthird parties. Alcan also produced and sold 700 kilotonnes ofspecialty aluminas to third parties.  

In 2005, theBauxite and Alumina Business Group had third party sales and operating revenuesof approximately $1.5 billion, representing approximately 7% of Alcan's 2005sales and revenues.   

For furtherinformation concerning the Bauxite and Alumina Business Group's sales to thirdparties, business group profit, working capital, total assets and the percentage of Alcan's totalrevenue contributed by the Bauxite and Alumina Business Group, see Note 35 tothe Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as well asManagement's Discussion and Analysis-Bauxite and Alumina. 

**1.2        Production / Facilities **

1.2.1     ***Canada:***Alcan owns the Vaudreuil alumina facility at Jonquière,Quebec. Bauxite required for its operation is obtained from Brazil, Guinea and Australia(see below). Alumina and specialty alumina produced at Vaudreuil supply, inpart, the smelters in Quebec and are also sold in specialty alumina markets inthe U.S. and Canada. Alcan also operates the Brockville specialty alumina plantin Ontario.

1.2.2    ***Australia:***Alcan owns the Gove bauxite refinery and mine in Australia's Northern Territory.In 2005, the amount of bauxite mined at Gove was 5.8 million tonnes and therefinery produced 1.9 million tonnes of smelter-grade alumina, which was used atthe Kitimat (British Columbia, Canada), ISAL (Iceland), Sebree (Kentucky, U.S.)and Quebec smelters and was sold to third parties. In 2004, the Company announcedthe expansion of the Gove refinery to increase alumina capacity to 3.8 million tonnes per year. Alcan owns, directly and indirectly, 41.39% of QueenslandAlumina Ltd. ("QAL"), which operates a 4.0-million tonne alumina plant atGladstone (Queensland, Australia). Each participant in that plant suppliesbauxite for toll conversion. All of Alcan's bauxite processed by QAL ispurchased from Comalco Limited ("Comalco") in Australia under a long-termagreement. Alcan's share of production from QAL (1.6-million tonnes) is used tosupply third parties. Alcan and Comalco have an agreement providing for thefuture development of Alcan's Ely bauxite mine in Cape York, Queensland, withComalco's adjacent operations. 

9

1.2.3    ***Brazil:***Alcanpurchased approximately 2.1 million tonnes of bauxite in 2005 from Mineração Riodo Norte S.A. ("MRN"), a company in which Alcan holds a 12.5% interest. MRN'sPorto Trombetas mine in the Amazon region has an operating capacity ofapproximately16.7 million tonnes per year. Bauxite purchased from MRN is processed at theVaudreuil (Quebec, Canada) plant (see above) and at the Alumar alumina refinery in São Luis(Brazil) which has an annual capacity of about 1.4 million tonnes; Alcan owns a10% interest in Consorcio de Alumínio do Maranhão,the legal entity operating the Alumar alumina refinery. On 21 December 2005, Alcanannounced that it would proceed with an investment of approximately $129 millionfor its participation in the 2.1-million tonne per year expansion of theAlumar refinery.

1.2.4    ***France:***Alcan owns a 100% interest in three plants: Gardanne, Beyrède and La Bâthie. The totalproduction of these plants was approximately 700 kilotonnes for 2005 of whichone third was for smelter grade alumina (produced only at the Gardanne facility)and the balance for specialty aluminas. The smelter grade alumina is primarilyshipped to the St. Jean de Maurienne smelter facility in France and specialtyproducts are sold to third parties.
