The service provides the classification of economic activities / industries in the NACE 2.1 revision, allowing users to conveniently browse and search for business activity types according to the latest version. Additionally, there is an option to switch to the previous NACE 2.0 revision, ensuring an easy transition between the two versions. In the data search tool, users can search for an industry by the NACE code or a fragment of the code description in the respective revision (NACE 2.1 or NACE 2.0). By selecting the appropriate NACE code, a list of companies registered in the Lursoft IT database with that NACE code is available via the "Companies" link. By clicking the "SIC" button, users can view the UK's industry classification and browse companies from the UK, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia that match the selected industry.

B | MINING AND QUARRYING

Description
Mining and quarrying include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids (coal and ores), liquids (petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by different methods (for example, underground or surface mining, well operation, seabed mining).

This section includes supplementary activities aimed at preparing the crude materials for marketing (for example, crushing, grinding, cleaning, drying, sorting, concentrating ores and liquefaction of natural gas).

Mining activities are classified into divisions, groups and classes on the basis of the principal mineral produced. Divisions 05 and 06 are concerned with mining and quarrying of fossil fuels (coal, lignite, petroleum, gas); divisions 07 and 08 concern metal ores, various minerals and quarry products.

Some of the technical operations of this section, particularly related to the extraction of hydrocarbons, may also be carried out for third parties by specialised units as an industrial service activity which is reflected in division 09.

This section excludes:
- further processing of the extracted materials, see section C
- use of the extracted materials without further transformation for construction purposes, see section F
- bottling of natural spring and mineral waters at springs and wells, see 11.07
- remediation of mine sites, see 39.00
Companies
This division includes the extraction of solid mineral fuels through underground or open-cast mining and includes operations (for example, grading, cleaning, compressing and other steps necessary for transport) leading to a marketable product.

This division excludes:
- coking (see 19.10)
- services incidental to coal or lignite mining (see 09.90)
- manufacture of briquettes (see 19.20)

Companies
This division includes the production of crude petroleum, the mining and extraction of oil from oil shale and oil sands, and the production of natural gas and recovery of hydrocarbon liquids.
This division also includes the activities of operating and/or developing oilfields and gas fields. Such activities may include drilling, completing and equipping wells; operating separators, emulsion breakers, desalting equipment and field-gathering lines for crude petroleum; all other activities in the preparation of oil and gas up to the point of shipment from the producing property.

This division excludes:
- support activities for oilfields and gas fields, performed on a fee or contract basis, see 09.10
- exploration of oil and gas wells, see 09.10
- test drilling and boring in connection with petroleum or gas extraction, see 09.10
- refining of petroleum products, see 19.20
- geophysical, geologic and seismic surveying, see 71.12

Companies
This division includes mining for metallic minerals (ores), performed through underground or open-cast extraction, seabed mining, and so on.
This division also includes:
- ore dressing and beneficiating operations (e.g. crushing, grinding, washing, drying, sintering, calcining or leaching ore, gravity separation or flotation operations)
This division excludes:
- roasting of iron pyrites, see 20.13
- operation of blast furnaces, see division 24
- production of aluminium oxide, see 24.42

Companies
This division includes extraction from a mine or quarry, but also dredging of alluvial deposits, rock crushing and the use of salt marshes. The products are used most notably in construction (for example, sands, stones), the manufacture of materials (for example, clay, gypsum, calcium), the manufacture of chemicals, and so on.

This division excludes processing (except crushing, grinding, cutting, cleaning, drying, sorting and mixing) of the minerals extracted, see section C.

Companies
This division includes specialised support services incidental to mining provided on a fee or contract basis. It includes exploration services through traditional prospecting methods (for example, taking core samples and making geological observations as well as drilling, test drilling or redrilling for oil wells, metallic and non-metallic minerals). Other typical services cover building oil and gas well foundations, cementing oil and gas well casings, cleaning, bailing and swabbing oil and gas wells, draining and pumping mines, and so on.
