Alumina Ltd. Chief Executive John Bevan said in a statement that the outlook for the alumina industry is "positive".

"Demand continues to grow and the development of daily and weekly alumina indexes supports the change to indexed based pricing," Bevan added. "The changes will impact our results progressively as new contracts are implemented commencing in 2011."
