Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice - Region No. 10
The inland region of Upper
Demerara-Upper Berbice contains the largest portion of the hilly sand and clay
area. Guyana's principal bauxite deposits are found in the White Sands area. The
39,106 people of this 'bauxite region' work mainly with bauxite companies
Linmine (at Linden and Ituni) and Bermine (at Everton and Kwakwani). The
extracted bauxite is exported to make aluminum.
A small portion of the
Iwokrama Rainforest Project is located in this Region. Cattle-rearing and
forestry are also done on very small scales.

Bauxite is what Region 10 has been well known for so the plant or bauxite
mining site will be the symbol. The colours will be yellow because of the mining
history of the region and black for the strength of the people of that Region.
