Jamaican govt identifying new bauxite mining sites for Noranda Jamaica Partnership

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 1MINS READ

Identification of new bauxite mining sites is on in Jamaica for licensing to the operators of Noranda Jamaica. The new bauxite mines will replace the now denied sites to the company which lies within the Cockpit Country’s protected boundaries.

"We are advised that the commissioner of mines and Jamaica Bauxite Institute are working towards the delivery to Noranda Bauxite of a mining lease that fulfils the GOJ's initial obligation to provide 25 years of economic and proximate bauxite reserves at a production rate of 5.2 million tonnes per year," New Day Aluminium’s chief administrative officer Anthony Laura said to the media.

"Those reserves are intended to satisfy our production needs during that 25-year period," Laura said.

Noranda Jamaica Bauxite holds Special Mining Lease No. 165, for the bauxite mining site encompassing a 177 square kilometres (68 square miles)-area, south of Brown's Town in St Ann; and Special Exclusive Prospecting Licence No. 578, covering 136 square kilometres (52 square miles) in western St Ann and Trelawny.

Noranda produced around 2.6 million tonnes of bauxite which is half its capacity of 5.2 million tonnes earlier this year.
