Aluminum Corp of China Ltd, or Chalco, is seeking to tap bauxite resources and build processing plants abroad after Indonesia curbed its exports to China.

The company plans to build an alumina plant with a capacity of 1 million metric tons a year in Indonesia in the first phase of the project, Luo Jianchuan, Chalco president, said on Friday. Indonesia banned exports of some mineral ores starting in May.
