About Us

 

Established in 2006, Sierra Bauxita Dominicana (SBD) owns contractual rights for the exploration, mining and exportation of cement grade bauxite located in the Pedernales region of the Dominican Republic.  The managing partners have been involved in the bauxite business for over a decade, working in the Dominican Republic for over 12 years.  A stable economy and pro-industry government have facilitated the revitalization and development of a once thriving bauxite exportation business.  SBD is currently seeking long-term arrangements for the supply of metallurgical grade and cement grade bauxite with select companies.

Bauxite - A Brief History

From the 60's through the late 80's, bauxite was mined and exported from the Dominican Republic by Alcoa.  During this time, the basic infrastructure was built and is still in use today including mine access, haul roads, port and loading facilities.  Alcoa mined and exported over 30 million tons while they operated the mine.  When Alcoa terminated operations, they donated the mine and facilities to the government.  In 2007, SBD signed a 12 year agreement with the government to explore, mine and export bauxite.
