Investment promotion agency, Jampro, is assessing a new offer from a foreign investor interested in the extraction of rare-earth metals from Jamaica's bauxite waste, Wednesday Business has learned.
The interest is growing amid reports that the studies under way by Nippon Light Metals of Japan in partnership with the Jamaica Bauxite Institute (JBI), are showing promising results.
Nippon put in an application last year to patent its extraction process, according to the Jamaica Intellectual Property Office (JIPO), which said approval could take about three years from application.
