Aluminum

1347 GMT [Dow Jones] London Metal Exchange aluminum is down on unconfirmed reports that production has resumed at the CBG operations in the Republic of Guinea, a broker says. Reports suggest bauxite mining and deliveries to Guinea's Kamsar port have resumed after the government lifted martial law in the area. Bauxite makes alumina which in turn produces aluminum. LME aluminum trades last at $2795 a metric ton, down 1% on the day.(ADH)
