  1. B Mineral and quarrying.

Contains 5 narrower codes

What B includes

  • This broad section includes the extraction of naturally occurring minerals in solid (coal and ores), liquid (petroleum), or gaseous (natural gas) states. Mining can be done in several ways, such as underground or surface mining, oil or mineral well drilling, and offshore mining.
  • It also includes various activities related to mining aimed at preparing raw materials for market sale, such as mineral crushing, grinding, processing, cleaning, drying, separating, concentrating, liquefying natural gas, and briquetting solid fuels. Generally, these operations are carried out at and/or near the mineral deposit.
  • Mining activities are divided into divisions, groups, and classes primarily based on the type of mineral produced. Divisions 05 and 06 deal with the mining of fossil fuels (coal, lignite, petroleum, gas), while divisions 07 and 08 deal with metallic ores, other minerals, and quarry products.
  • Certain technical activities within this major category, particularly hydrocarbon extraction carried out on behalf of third parties by specialized agencies as industrial service providers, are classified in division 09.

  • Processing of ores and other minerals is classified under major section C (Production).
  • The use of unprocessed mining materials in construction is classified under major section F (Construction).
