Boyne Smelters Limited

Boyne Smelters Limited (BSL) has been operating since 1982 and is proud to be Australia’s second largest aluminium smelter. The smelter is situated on a 60-hectare site at Boyne Island in Central Queensland and activities include manufacturing carbon anodes in the carbon plant, aluminium production (smelting) in reduction lines, and casting of molten metal into aluminium products ready to ship. The smelter is adjacent to, and connected via a conveyor belt, to the Queensland Alumina Limited refinery for the supply of alumina. BSL is a joint venture between Rio Tinto (73.5%), YKK Aluminium (9.50%), UACJ Australia (9.29%) and Southern Cross Aluminium (7.71%). At BSL we are focused on operating sustainably through ensuring the health and safety of our people, minimising our environmental impact and maintaining strong relationships with the community. Our success is primarily due to our people — who shaped not only the smelter, but the community in which we operate. We have a proud past, and we are creating an exciting future.
