What is the Mining industry?
"The Mining Division includes units that mainly extract naturally occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. The term mining is used in the broad sense to include: underground or open cut mining; dredging; quarrying; well operations or evaporation pans; recovery from ore dumps or tailings as well as beneficiation activities (i.e. preparing, including crushing, screening, washing and flotation) and other preparation work customarily performed at the mine site, or as a part of mining activity. The Mining Division distinguishes two basic activities: mine operation and mining support activities." (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2006, Division B: Mining, Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZIC), [online], Available at: http://url.edna.edu.au/G7se).
