Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral that is the primary source of aluminum. It is formed through the weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. The name bauxite is derived from the French village of Les Baux, where it was first discovered in 1821 by geologist Pierre Berthier. Bauxite is typically found in layers …
Environment. Jamaican bauxites occur as pocket or blanket deposits of red earthy material on the karst surface of the Tertiary White Limestones, mainly in the interior of the island. The contact between the bauxite and the limestone is sharp, with a strong colour contrast between the dark red bauxite and the white limestone.
The Jamaica Bauxite Institute (JBI), a Government agency, is charged with overseeing the development of the industry and as such, standards fall under its purview. In 1990 the JBI established an Environmental Technical Committee comprising members from the bauxite/alumina companies and the government agencies responsible for …

General Manager of the Jamaica Bauxite Institute, Parris Lyew-Ayee tells JIS News this in a recent interview. He says that in 2002, alumina was selling in the US$130 – US$140 per tonne range, and by the close of 2003, it was being sold in excess of US$400 per tonne, meaning better returns for the sector. The gross revenue from the industry ...

The Mining Act provides for a royalty of US$ 0.5 per ton of bauxite mined. There are also fees for prospecting, exploration and quarry licenses and mining leases. The corporate income and general consumption tax (sales tax) are applied to the mining sector are similar to those applied to non-mining entities operating in Jamaica.
Bauxite Reserves The top 5 countries, Guinea, Australia, Brazil, Vietnam and Jamaica, hold over 70% of the world's documented bauxite reserves. Bauxite resources are estimated to be 55 billion to 75 billion tons, in Africa (32%), Oceania (23%), South America and the Caribbean (21%), Asia (18%), and elsewhere (6%).
Most of Jamaica's bauxite is red or reddish-brown, a peculiarity which indicates the occurrence of iron mineral in the ore. There is no overburden covering the bauxite, as is the case in many other countries. The ore lies on the surface and is relatively easy to mine. The mining laws of Jamaica require the mining
