Alumina Partners of Jamaica previously used Moorlands Estate for bauxite mining. All bauxite-mining operations have ceased and the land was mainly in pasture with some rocky hillocks that are densely covered with mature trees. The mining pits have now become grasslands.The marled roads that were once used for access throughout the property during the bauxite mining period have now been incorporated into the development plan as the major traffic routes within the subdivision. more
