Alcan Donates US$500,000 to Assist in Katrina Relief Efforts

Montreal, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

Alcan Inc. (NYSE, TSX: AL)
announced today that it is donating US$500, 000 to the American Red
Cross to assist in relief efforts following the  devastation caused
to the U.S. Gulf coast by hurricane Katrina last week.
"On behalf of Alcan, our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to
the  families and friends of the victims, in particular those who are
part of  our family. At present, many Alcan retirees and at least one
employee were  directly impacted by the hurricane," said Travis
Engen, President and Chief  Executive Officer of Alcan Inc. "Tens of
thousands of people have lost  everything: family, friends, homes,
jobs. It is reassuring to see the  global community unite and
collectively assist the survivors to rebuild  their lives," he added.
Alcan does not currently have any facilities in the affected
region.  Until 2003, Alcan operated a cable plant in Bay St. Louis,
Mississippi, a  town that was virtually flattened by Katrina, and the
Company is already  providing support in this area. The Company's
former Bay St. Louis facility  is one of the few buildings to have
not been completely destroyed and is  being used in the relief
effort.
Alcan is monitoring developments in the region and continuing to
assess  additional means of providing assistance.
Alcan is a multinational, market-driven company and a global
leader in  aluminum and packaging. With world-class operations in
primary aluminum,  fabricated aluminum as well as flexible and
specialty packaging, aerospace  applications, bauxite mining and
alumina processing, today's Alcan is well  positioned to meet and
exceed its customers' needs for innovative solutions  and service.
Alcan employs almost 70,000 people and has operating  facilities in
55 countries and regions.
