Bauxite is the ore from which aluminium is made. Jamaica contains some of the largest known deposits of bauxite in the world. The mining areas are located in the western and central parts of the island. After mining, most of the bauxite is carried to alumina plants where it is refined into alumina. The alumina (or in some cases unrefined ...

bauxite, rock largely composed of a mixture of hydrous aluminum oxides. Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. Bauxites vary physically according to the origin and geologic history of their deposits: some deposits are soft, easily crushed, and structureless; some are hard, dense, and pisolitic, or pealike; still others are porous but …

Sustainable bauxite mining is not a "one-size fits all" prescriptive process but involves risk management and applying technologies appropriate to the circumstances of each mine. These Guidelines build on the 2018 Sustainable Bauxite Mining Guidelines (SBMG) and provide a practical, attainable guide to improve sustainability.

The mining and quarrying sector represents a critical component of Guyana's economy, given that it contributed 12.15 % towards Guyana's GDP. Guyana's mining sector is currently focused on gold, bauxite and diamonds, while mineral commodities accounted for 39.96% of Guyana's total exports in 2020. The country has also deposits of other …

It is important to note that smelting of all bauxite domestically mined would have amounted to annual production of about 365,000 tons of aluminum for Guyana, or the annual output of one medium-sized smelter. Due to Jamaica's much larger bauxite production, however, annual aluminum output would average over two million tons.
