MINING AND QUARRYING
What this code covers
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.
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.

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.
- Some of the technical operations of this section, particularly related to the extraction of hydrocarbons, may also be carried out for third parties by specialised units as an industrial service activity which is reflected in division 09.
- further processing of the extracted materials, see section C
- use of the extracted materials without further transformation for construction purposes, see section F
- bottling of natural spring and mineral waters at springs and wells, see 11.07
- remediation of mine sites, see 39.00
- Compare with 11.07, 39.00, A 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 B used for?
Use NACE B for mining and quarrying when the main activity matches this scope: 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.
What are typical examples for B?
Typical examples include 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)., 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., and Some of the technical operations of this section, particularly related to the extraction of hydrocarbons, may also be carried out for third parties by specialised units as an industrial service activity which is reflected in division 09..
When might B not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to further processing of the extracted materials, see section C and use of the extracted materials without further transformation for construction purposes, see section F.
Which codes should I compare before choosing B?
Compare B with 11.07 Manufacture of soft drinks and bottled waters, 39.00 Remediation activities and other waste management service activities, and A AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for manufacture of soft drinks and bottled waters when the main activity includes Production of natural mineral waters and other bottled waters and Manufacture of soft drinks:. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for remediation activities and other waste management service activities when the main activity includes Decontamination of soils and groundwater at the place of pollution, either in situ or ex situ, using, e.g. mechanical, chemical or biological methods and Decontamination of industrial plants or sites, including nuclear plants and sites. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
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.
