NACE v2.1 Code: B08
About other mining and quarrying
NACE code 08, 'Other mining and quarrying', encompasses a diverse range of economic activities related to the extraction of various minerals and materials from the earth's surface and subsurface. This industry plays a crucial role in supplying essential raw materials for a wide array of industries, contributing to the overall functioning and development of the broader economy.
Production process
The production techniques used in this industry typically involve a combination of mechanical and manual processes. Extraction methods can include open-pit mining, underground mining, dredging, and quarrying, depending on the specific mineral or material being harvested. Advanced technologies, such as drilling equipment, explosives, and heavy machinery, are often employed to facilitate the extraction and processing of these natural resources.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the 'Other mining and quarrying' industry include a variety of raw materials, such as various types of rocks, minerals, and ores. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, equipment, and tools, as well as a skilled workforce to operate and maintain the extraction and processing facilities. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential inputs for the industry's operations.
Production outputs
The outputs of the 'Other mining and quarrying' industry encompass a diverse range of products, including various types of aggregates (e.g., sand, gravel, crushed stone), industrial minerals (e.g., gypsum, salt, clay), and other extracted materials (e.g., peat, gemstones). These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, such as 08 Other mining and quarrying, 23 Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products, and 41 Construction of buildings.
