Re: 7.25% Senior Notes due 2015

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Novelis Inc., a corporation organized under
the laws of Canada (the "Company") in connection with the preparation of
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-4
(Registration No. 333-127139) and a new registration statement on Form S-4
(collectively, the "Registration Statement") to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), relating to the proposed exchange of up to $1,400,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company's 7.25% Senior Notes due 2015 to be
registered under the Act (the "New Notes") for a like principal amount of the
Company's issued and outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2015 that have not been
registered under the Act (the "Old Notes"). The Old Notes are, and the New Notes
will be, unconditionally guaranteed by Novelis Finances USA LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, Novelis South America Holdings LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, and Aluminum Upstream Holdings LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "New Guarantors" and such guarantees the "New
Guarantees").

In so acting, we have reviewed the Indenture, dated as of February 3,
2005 (the "Base Indenture"), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company
party thereto, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the
"Trustee"), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of
November 29, 2006 (the "Supplemental Indenture" and together with the Base
Indenture, the "Indenture"). We also have reviewed such matters of law and
examined original, certified, conformed or photographic copies of such other
documents, records, agreements and certificates as we have deemed necessary as a
basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In such review, we have assumed
the genuineness of signatures on all documents submitted to us as originals and
the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified,
conformed or photographic copies.

For purposes of the opinions below, we have assumed that the execution
and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations under, the Indenture
have been duly authorized by all requisite action by each of the Trustee and the
Company and that the Indenture has been

duly executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding agreement of, the
Trustee and the Company, enforceable against each such party in accordance with
its terms.

This opinion is limited in all respects to the federal laws of the
United States of America and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware, and no
opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or any
effect that such laws may have on the opinions expressed herein. This opinion is
limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be
inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to all of the assumptions,
qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(1) The Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the New Guarantors and constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of the New Guarantors enforceable
against the New Guarantors in accordance with its terms,
subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and
to the effect of general principles of equity.

(2) The New Guarantees have been duly authorized by the New
Guarantors and, when the New Notes are executed and delivered
by the Company with executed New Guarantees affixed thereto in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture in exchange for the
Old Notes, will constitute valid and binding obligations of
the New Guarantors, enforceable against the New Guarantors in
accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement of
remedies, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies
of creditors generally and to the effect of general principles
of equity.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no
obligation to advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that
come to our attention or changes in laws that occur, which could affect the
opinions contained herein. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the
caption "Validity of the Securities" in the prospectus that is included in the
Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,
