national industry 212290

Other Metal Ore Mining

Overview

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in developing the mine site, mining, and/or beneficiating (i.e., preparing) metal ores (except iron and manganiferous ores valued for their iron content, gold ore, silver ore, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc ore).

The immediate parent of national industry 212290 is international industry 21229: Other Metal Ore Mining
