Our Role

The SLR Team conducted extensive stakeholder engagement with governance, production, capacity building, financial, environmental and market actors across the Development Minerals spectrum. The current mining law and draft Mineral Policy were reviewed and recommendations made to bring them into line with international best practice. The project team visited 54 quarry operations to assess the technical, operational, environmental, social and economic impacts and constraints for Development Minerals in Jamaica; mapped current trends, identified target minerals for development under the programme and developed a 5-year Action Plan to focus efforts in the coming period.
