Industry: Metal Ore Mining
NAICS Code: 2122
The Metal Ore Mining industry, classified under NAICS code 2122, primarily involves the extraction of metal ores, such as iron, copper, gold, silver, and other metals, from the earth. Establishments in this industry engage in activities such as developing mine sites, mining, and beneficiating (i.e., preparing) metal ores. The core activity that distinguishes this industry is the extraction and processing of metal ores, which sets it apart from industries focused on non-metallic mineral mining or coal mining.
