Other mining and quarrying
What this code covers
Use this division for other mining and quarrying when the main activity includes Quarrying of stone, sand and clay and Mining and quarrying n.e.c.. 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.
- This division includes extraction from a mine or quarry, but also dredging of alluvial deposits, rock crushing and the use of salt marshes. The products are used most notably in construction (for example, sands, stones), the manufacture of materials (for example, clay, gypsum, calcium), the manufacture of chemicals, and so on.
- This division excludes processing (except crushing, grinding, cutting, cleaning, drying, sorting and mixing) of the minerals extracted, see section C.
- Compare with 05, 06, 07 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 08 used for?
Use NACE 08 for other mining and quarrying when the main activity matches this scope: Use this division for other mining and quarrying when the main activity includes Quarrying of stone, sand and clay and Mining and quarrying n.e.c.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 08?
Typical examples include Quarrying of stone, sand and clay and Mining and quarrying n.e.c..
When might 08 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to This division excludes processing (except crushing, grinding, cutting, cleaning, drying, sorting and mixing) of the minerals extracted, see section C..
Which codes should I compare before choosing 08?
Compare 08 with 05 Mining of coal and lignite, 06 Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas, and 07 Mining of metal ores when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this division for mining of coal and lignite when the main activity includes Mining of hard coal and Mining of lignite. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas when the main activity includes Extraction of crude petroleum and Extraction of natural gas. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for mining of metal ores when the main activity includes Ore dressing and beneficiating operations (e.g. crushing, grinding, washing, drying, sintering, calcining or leaching ore, gravity separation or flotation operations). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for mining support service activities when the main activity includes Support activities for petroleum and natural gas extraction and Support activities for other mining and quarrying. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of quarrying of stone, sand and clay, including Quarrying of ornamental stone, limestone, gypsum, slate and other stone and Operation of gravel and sand pits and mining of clay and kaolin. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of mining and quarrying n.e.c., including Mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals, Extraction of peat, and Extraction of salt. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this section for mINING AND QUARRYING when the main activity includes Mining and quarrying include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids (coal and ores), liquids (petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by different methods (for example, underground or surface mining, well operation, seabed mining). and Mining activities are classified into divisions, groups and classes on the basis of the principal mineral produced. Divisions 05 and 06 are concerned with mining and quarrying of fossil fuels (coal, lignite, petroleum, gas); divisions 07 and 08 concern metal ores, various minerals and quarry products.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Rev. 2 code 08 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 08 Other mining and quarrying.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
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.
