Sources in Barahona said that RD$10 million in warehoused bauxite ready for export was lost due to the intense rains that fell in the area. The bauxite was at the port ready for export. The port structure itself suffered damages of RD$25 million, and Urides Dotel, spokesman for the Sierra Bauxita Company that extracts and exports the bauxite, said that several weeks will be needed to repair the port facilities.
