Bauxite, Jamaica's main mineral resource, is a vital element of the country's economy. Other mineral resources include gypsum, limestone, marble, silica sand, clay peat, and to a lesser extent, lignite, black sands containing titanium, copper, lead, zinc and phosphates.
Guyana's principal bauxite deposits are found in the White Sands area. The 39,106 people of this 'bauxite region' work mainly with bauxite companies Linmine (at Linden and Ituni) and Bermine (at Everton and Kwakwani). The extracted bauxite is exported to make aluminum.
