– amid calls to ensure communities benefit A review of the bauxite sector, to chart the course for continuous expansion saw the two bauxite companies, Bosai and Rusal outlining their projections for 2013.The programme was hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources at the Watooka complex in Linden on Saturday.The audience of major stakeholders from across Region 10, including Regional Chairman Sharma Solomon and Interim Management Committee Chairman Orrin Gordon, were treated to presentations of mining activities conducted by the two companies, over the past year.Gordon, while applauding the companies’ commitment towards expansion, was most vocal about the issue of a farmer at Linden who has occupied the land he is farming on for over 32 years, but still has no lease for the land. The land that Baljit was given surface rights to farm is controlled by RUSAL.Gordon said that he has a problem if the benefits that would accrue to the community from expansion of the bauxite sector, would only be additional jobs.He pointed to the huge craters that are left after mining and said that they need to be filled.Bauxite sector executives and major stakeholders at the Watooka ClubAccording to Gordon, bauxite is a non-renewable resource, and as such steps have to be taken to benefit the community.Those sentiments were echoed by a resident of Coomacka, a community which sits on the periphery of Bosai’s mining operations.
