The Huntly mine is located near Dwellingup and was established in early 1976. Huntly is the world’s largest bauxite mine, supplying bauxite ore to Pinjarra and Kwinana Refineries. Huntly bauxite production has doubled since 1990 and currently produces around 23 million tonnes of bauxite per year.

The ore from Huntly and Willowdale is refined to produce about 10 million tonnes of alumina each year. This represents around 47% of Australia’s alumina production and 30% of aluminium production. Alumina production from Alcoa’s WA refineries accounts for 13% of total world demand.
