Variant of NAICS 2002 - Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Sector

6.2 - Industries not included in the Information and Communication Technology Sector

This special aggregation comprises all NAICS that do not relate to information and communication technology products.

21 - Mining and Oil and Gas Extraction

This sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in extracting naturally occurring minerals. These can be solids, such as coal and ores; liquids, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. The term "mining" is used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations, milling (for example, crushing, screening, washing, or flotation) and other preparation customarily done at the mine site, or as a part of mining activity. Establishments engaged in exploration for minerals, development of mineral properties and mining operations are included in this sector. Establishments performing similar activities, on a contract or fee basis, are also included.

212 - Mining (except Oil and Gas)

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in mining, beneficiating or otherwise preparing metallic and non-metallic minerals, including coal.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:

  • providing support services, on a contract or fee basis, required for the mining and quarrying of minerals (See 21311 Support Activities for Mining and Oil and Gas Extraction)

2123 - Non-Metallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying

This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in mining or quarrying non-metallic minerals, except coal. Primary preparation plants, such as those engaged in crushing, grinding and washing, are included.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:

  • manufacturing brick and other structural clay products (See 32712 Clay Building Material and Refractory Manufacturing)
  • manufacturing cement (See 32731 Cement Manufacturing)
  • manufacturing lime (See 32741 Lime Manufacturing)
  • cutting and finishing stone and stone products (See 32799 All Other Non-Metallic Mineral Product Manufacturing)

21232 - Sand, Gravel, Clay, and Ceramic and Refractory Minerals Mining and Quarrying

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating sand and gravel pits, including dredging for sand and gravel; mining or quarrying shale; and mining, beneficiating or otherwise preparing kaolin or ball clay, including china clay, paper and slip clays, and other clays and refractory minerals.

212323 - Sand and Gravel Mining and Quarrying^CAN
