"It is naturally found in the form of bauxite, an ore containing aluminum oxide, or alumina. We surface mine bauxite from reserves in Australia, Brazil, Suriname, Jamaica and other parts of the world, processing most of it into alumina. In 2003, Alcoa consumed 30.8 million metric tons (mt) of bauxite from its own reserves, 6.9 million mt from related third parties and 1.9 million mt from unrelated third parties."
