Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  In connection with the registration under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") of (a) $1,400,000,000 principal amount of
7-1/4% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "Notes") of Novelis Inc., a corporation
organized under the laws of Canada (the "Company"), to be issued in exchange for
the Company's outstanding 7-1/4% Senior Notes due 2015 pursuant to an Indenture,
dated as of February 3, 2005 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the
subsidiaries of the Company party thereto (collectively, the "Guarantors") and
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), and (b)
the Guarantees (the "Guarantees") of each of the Guarantors endorsed upon the
Notes, we, as legal counsel, have examined such corporate records, certificates
and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary
or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.




Novelis Inc.

                                                                            -2-


                  Upon the basis of such examination, we advise you that, in our
opinion, (1) Novelis Deutschland GmbH has been duly organized and is an existing
corporation under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, (2) the Indenture
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Novelis Deutschland GmbH,
(3) the Guarantees have been duly authorized by Novelis Deutschland GmbH, and
(4) when the terms of the Notes and the Guarantees and of their issuance have
been duly established in conformity with the Indenture and the Notes and
Guarantees have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Guarantees will constitute valid
and legally binding obligations of Novelis Deutschland GmbH, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles.

                  The foregoing opinion is limited to and given on the basis of
the substantive laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as in existence at date
hereof. We are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other
jurisdiction. All terms used herein not expressly referenced to the laws of
other jurisdictions are construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the
Federal Republic of Germany as in existence at the date hereof .

                  We have relied as to certain factual matters on information
obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and the Guarantors and
other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that the
Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the
parties thereto, the Notes have been duly authorized by the Company, the
Guarantees have been duly authorized by the Guarantors and that the Company and
the Guarantors have been duly organized and are existing corporations in good
standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organizations,
assumptions which we have not independently verified.




Novelis Inc.

                                                                            -3-


                  We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and any reference to us under the heading
"Validity of the Notes" in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration
Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act.
