Aluminium
Aluminium (Vanilla)
So many resources needed, Bauxite, Coal, Quartz (Silica), Water & Copper.

When scanning for bauxite I located a pure deposit way south of my main base 'B' up in the pink tree plateau zone. I had never been there before and wanted to explore the area anyway. It wasn't that far from my triple coal mine which provides coal to the power generators and coal to make steel in my steel mill to the west of my main base.
Other resources Silicon and Coal required to make aluminium weren’t excessively far away, although getting to the silicon turned out to be a major adventure. If there is an easy way and a hard way to find those Quartz deposits I chose the hard way.
Note on the silica: The way its drawn here requires some Tk3 conveyors, if your willing to add another splitter you can keep worst case load to 75/min ie Tk2 conveyors.

Oops - Originally I thought the bauxite deposit was standard and using a Mk2 miner would provide 120 ore/minute so I drafted these plans. Then I realised it was a pure deposit and I could get 240 ore/min and could upscale if I wanted. Rather than burn the plans I thought I would place them here anyway. Do I really need 240 Alclad per minute?
This is just a draft as yet.
Way overkill on the power

I will add some plans for a 240 bauxite plant when I get around to it but you can probably guess it involves just doubling everything except for the Scrap Aluminium Refinery which is operation at 50% at the moment.

The Great Ramp going up to the triple coal mine
Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
