2031. The center of SML 130 is located at 18°02’N and 77°25’W and covers 137.3mi2. The lease guarantees that no other company will be allowed to mine for bauxite in the leased area. Jamalco may surrender lands to the Government of Jamaica that it has mined out and restored or lands it no longer wishes to retain free of charge. Conversely, the Government of Jamaica may rescind lands under the mining lease that it deems necessary in the national interest of Jamaica: such lands will not be made available to other bauxite users.

On January 1, 2003, the Government of Jamaica granted Jamalco under SML 169 the rights to explore and mine the bauxite in the lease area for a period of 40 years, expiring in 2043. The center of SML 169 is at 18°10’24’’N and 77°33’15’’W and covers 46.0mi2. The conditions of the lease are the same as the conditions for SML 130.

On June 7, 2016, the Government of Jamaica granted Jamalco under SEPL 580 the right to explore exclusively for bauxite in the license area. The license is renewable annually and currently valid until June 2025. The center of SEPL 580 is at approximately 18°04’N and 77°25’W and covers 59.7mi2.

Jamalco’s refinery is located at 17°54’N and 77°14’30’’W and the dedicated port is located at Rocky Point on Jamaica’s south coast at 17°49’N and 77°10’W approximately 8.7mi to the southeast of the refinery.

Mining by Jamalco is subject to the Mining Act of 1947 ("the Mining Act") and its subsequent amendments and the lease agreements. It provides the holder of a mining lease with full access to land granted with the exclusive right to explore and mine bauxite. Many lands are held by private owners and, prior to prospecting or mining, Jamalco is required to give notice to the owner and provide compensation.
