Get a Quarry Licence description
The local Mining and Quarrying sector is mainly driven by bauxite and alumina, which generate the most revenue for the sector. However, the sector has become more diversified over the years with the emergence of non-metallic minerals such as limestone, silica sand, marble, marl and fill, and clay. With over 50 billion tonnes of proven limestone reserves, Jamaica’s Mining Sector is excellently positioned to enjoy greater revenue earnings from key opportunities in areas such as the production of limestone and its high-value derivatives.


The Mines and Geology Division (MGD) has the statutory responsibility under the Mining Act and the Quarries Control Act to exercise general supervision over all prospecting, mining and quarrying operations throughout the island. The Division also manages the investigation, characterisation, documentation and release information on all aspects of the geology of Jamaica.Its mission is to develop a comprehensive scientific understanding of the geology of the island and to direct the orderly development of the country’s mineral industry, ensuring all activities proceed in accordance with the mining legislation and in harmony with the environment.
This includes overseeing the processing, approval and issuing of Mining Leases and Quarry Licences. It is important to note that no extraction of materials/minerals through mining or quarrying is permitted without a license/lease granted by the Minister with responsibility for mining.
