Sludge has been leaking from an aluminum plant in Baise City, southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, since mid-June, government authorities confirmed Monday. On June 17, leakage containing ore waste was found at a sludge tank at a plant of the Guangxi Branch of the Aluminum Corporation of China, according to the Guangxi Regional Department of Environmental Protection.

The site of the leak is about 12 km away from the Youjiang River, a major source of drinking water for Baise City.
