Mining of uranium and thorium ores
What this code covers
Use this class for mining of uranium and thorium ores when the main activity includes Mining of ores chiefly valued for uranium and thorium content: pitchblende, etc. and Concentration of such ores. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- mining of ores chiefly valued for uranium and thorium content: pitchblende, etc.
- concentration of such ores
- manufacture of yellowcake
- enrichment of uranium and thorium ores, see 20.13
- production of uranium metal from pitchblende or other ores, see 24.46
- smelting and refining of uranium, see 24.46
- Compare with 20.13, 24.46, 07.29 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 07.21 used for?
Use NACE 07.21 for mining of uranium and thorium ores when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for mining of uranium and thorium ores when the main activity includes Mining of ores chiefly valued for uranium and thorium content: pitchblende, etc. and Concentration of such ores. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 07.21?
Typical examples include Mining of ores chiefly valued for uranium and thorium content: pitchblende, etc., Concentration of such ores, and Manufacture of yellowcake.
When might 07.21 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to enrichment of uranium and thorium ores, see 20.13 and production of uranium metal from pitchblende or other ores, see 24.46.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 07.21?
Compare 07.21 with 20.13 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals, 24.46 Processing of nuclear fuel, and 07.29 Mining of other non-ferrous metal ores when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals when the main activity includes Manufacture of chemical elements (except industrial gases and basic metals) and Manufacture of inorganic acids, except nitric acid. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for processing of nuclear fuel when the main activity includes Production of natural uranium metal and its compounds from pitchblende or other ores and Manufacture of alloys of natural uranium, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing natural uranium or natural uranium compounds. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for mining of other non-ferrous metal ores when the main activity includes Mining and preparation of ores chiefly valued for non-ferrous metal content: and Aluminium (bauxite), copper, lead, zinc, tin, manganese, chrome, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, tantalum, vanadium, lithium/spodumene, etc.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for mining of non-ferrous metal ores when the main activity includes Mining of uranium and thorium ores and Mining of other non-ferrous metal ores. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

Low operational impact is expected, but systems should still store the target Rev. 2.1 version explicitly.
Confirm the target version field and update references where Rev. 2.1 is required.
