Other non-ferrous metal ores and concentrates (other than uranium or thorium ores and concentrates)

CPC v2.1 Code: 14290

About other non-ferrous metal ores and concentrates (other than uranium or thorium ores and concentrates)

cpc code 14290 covers the extraction and processing of a wide range of non-ferrous metal ores and concentrates, excluding uranium and thorium. These materials are essential raw inputs for numerous industries, including 24 Basic Metals and 25 Fabricated Metal Products, playing a crucial role in the global supply chain and economic development.

Production process

The production of non-ferrous metal ores and concentrates under this code typically involves mining, crushing, grinding, and beneficiation processes to extract and concentrate the desired metals. Techniques such as flotation, gravity separation, and leaching are commonly used to separate the valuable minerals from the surrounding rock and impurities.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include mining equipment, energy sources (e.g., electricity, fuel), water, and a range of chemical reagents used in the beneficiation processes. Additionally, skilled labor, transportation infrastructure, and access to geological data and exploration techniques are essential for the successful extraction and processing of these non-ferrous metal resources.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry are the various non-ferrous metal ores and concentrates, which are then further processed and refined by industries such as 24 Basic Metals and 25 Fabricated Metal Products to produce a wide range of metal products. These materials are crucial inputs for numerous manufacturing and construction applications, contributing to the development of infrastructure, transportation, electronics, and other essential sectors of the economy.
