Jiuquan Iron & Steel (Group) Co., Ltd (JISCO) Jamaican subsidiary JISCO Alpart said last week that it is planning to ramp up bauxite ore mining on the island to feed the firm's alumina plant, which is soon to undergo a US$1.1 billion expansion.
JISCO Alpart is reported to soon commence bauxite mining at a 700-acre tract in the Outer Valley. Mining on the tract will require the relocation of a handful of miners, according to an environmental report (EIA) prepared for the firm.
The company is seeking to secure about 15 million dry metric tons of bauxite in the Outer Valley.
