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) is carried to export ports by rail.

Beneficiation and mineral processing of bauxite and feldspar Bauxite is a sedimentary rock that is rich in alumina, the base for making aluminum. It is generally easy to mine because it is found near the surface of terrain. However, the process for separating the alumina from the other base elements in bauxite can be environmentally unfriendly.
