Rio Tinto to Purchase Eurocan Wharf

Rio Tinto has reached an agreement to purchase West Fraser Timber's Eurocan wharf facility in Kitimat.

Rio Tinto Alcan's B-C Operations Vice President Paul Henning says the investment will help the Kitimat Modernization Project move forward, and allow the company to accommodate the increase in aluminum production and raw materials being shipped into and out of Kitimat in the future.
