MELBOURNE, Feb 1 Asia Pulse - Alumina Ltd says the outlook for alumina prices and production is favourable for 2006.

The bauxite miner and aluminium smelter today posted an annual net profit of A$315.6 million (US$238.97 million), slightly lower than the A$316.4 million (US$239.58 million) it made in 2004.

Alumina chief executive John Marlay said aluminium prices, which recently breached 18 year-highs, looked set to remain strong.

"The outlook is for continued strong demand and favourable market fundamentals in 2006 for alumina and aluminium," he said.

"Alumina Limited is well placed to participate in this growth and profit from these market conditions."

The company achieved an average realised alumina price in 2005 of US$239 per tonne, up 15 per cent on the previous year, and as aluminium prices rose 14 per cent to 89 US cents per pound.

The company announced a final dividend of ten cents, in line with 2004, with the full year dividend payment also on a par with the previous year at 20 cents.
