1Figures represent calcined alumina or the total of calcined alumina plus the calcined equivalent of hydrate when available;�
exceptions, if known, are noted.
2World totals, U.S. data, and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.�
3Table includes data available through July 25, 2007.
4Reported figure.
5Data presented are for alumina used principally for specialty applications.� Information on aluminum hydrate for all uses is�
not adequate to formulate estimates of production levels.� Production of aluminum hydroxide, in metric tons: 2002�724,000;��
2003�740,000; 2004�730,000 (estimated); 2005�740,000 (estimated); and 2006�750,000.
6In June 2006, Montenegro and Serbia formally declared independence from each other and dissolved their union. Mineral
production data for 2006, however, still reflect the unified country.
