Firefighters have contained a major spill at the Weston Aluminium plant at Kurri Kurri.
Crews from Kurri Kurri, Kearsley Abermain and the Hazmat unit were called to the Mitchell Street plant at about 11.30pm on Tuesday to reports of a large spill of molten metal.
They've taken around six hours to cool the molten mass with water.
Newcastle Fire Command says the spill has been contained to the building of origin and did not spark a fire.
No-one was injured and one crew remains on scene to monitor the incident, the cause of which is not yet known
It comes just 8 months after a huge fire destroyed a building at the site in November last year.
