Mines and industrial plants

CPC v2.1 Code: 5326

About mines and industrial plants

cpc code 5326 covers a diverse range of industrial facilities, including mines, quarries, and other plants that extract and process raw materials. These establishments play a vital role in the broader economy, providing essential inputs for a wide range of manufacturing and construction activities. The mining and industrial plant sector is a significant contributor to GDP, employing millions of workers worldwide and generating substantial revenue through the extraction and processing of valuable resources.

Production process

The production techniques used in the mines and industrial plants industry vary depending on the specific type of facility and the resources being extracted or processed. Common methods include open-pit mining, underground mining, and various forms of mineral processing, such as crushing, grinding, and separation. These techniques are often highly mechanized, utilizing specialized equipment and machinery to maximize efficiency and productivity.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the mines and industrial plants industry include a range of raw materials, such as ores, minerals, and other natural resources. Additionally, these facilities rely on heavy machinery, including excavators, trucks, and processing equipment, as well as a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and operators. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential inputs for the industry's operations.

Production outputs

The outputs of the mines and industrial plants industry are diverse, ranging from basic raw materials like 1411 Coal and 1421 Iron ore to more refined products like 2411 Basic chemicals and 2694 Cement, lime, and plaster. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 2410 Manufacture of basic chemicals, 2694 Manufacture of cement, lime, and plaster, and 4520 Construction, among others.
