Excavation and the removal of excavated soil, the sinking of shafts and dragging for the extraction of minerals are classed in various groups of the branch of mining and quarrying industries (columns 81 and 82).

Extraction in mines and quarries of materials such as asbestos, gypsum, salt (including the working of salt pans), sulphur, asphalt, bitumen and all other non metallic mineral, excluding coal, petroleum, building stone, clay, sand and gravel.

For the purposes of headings Nos 26. 01 to 26. 17, the term 'ores' means minerals of mineralogical species actually used in the metallurgical industry for the extraction of mercury, of the metals of heading No 28. 44 or of the metals of Section XIV or XV, even if the are intended for non-metallurgical purposes.

- natural Chilean potassic sodium nitrate consisting of a natural mixture of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate (the proportion of the latter element may be as high as 44 %) of a total nitrogen content not exceeding 16,3 % by weight, produced in Chile by extraction from the nitrate mineral called 'caliche' by lixivation with a water solution, followed by crystallisation by differential cooling and/or solar evaporation ( 1 ).

Mineral-extraction by dredging

Vehicles used in the mineral extraction industry shall not be excluded,

Many activities in the oil, gas and mineral extraction industries involve jointly controlled assets;

Member States shall be entitled not to apply this Directive to mineral-extraction by dredging provided that they ensure the protection of the workers concerned in line with the general principles of the protection of the safety and health of workers laid down in this Directive, taking into account the specific risks involved in mineral-extraction by dredging.

Extraction of minerals other than metalliferous and energy-producing minerals by open-cast mining.

surface or underground extraction, in the strict sense of the word, of minerals, and/or

extraction, in the strict sense of the word, of minerals through drilling by boreholes, and/or

"Inorganic fertiliser" means a fertiliser in which the declared nutrients are in the form of minerals obtained by extraction or by physical and/or chemical industrial processes.

the deposit of unpolluted soil or of non-hazardous inert waste resulting from prospecting and extraction, treatment, and storage of mineral resources as well as from the operation of quarries.

Exploitation should be of sufficient duration to permit commercial extraction of minerals of the area and should include a reasonable time period for construction of commercial-scale mining and processing systems, during which period commercial production should not be required.

"(e) the exploitation (exploration, extraction and processing) of minerals in mines, quarries, or by means of boreholes, with the exception of chemical and thermal processing operations and storage related to those operations which involve dangerous substances, as defined in Annex I;

This Directive shall not apply to drilling and extraction in the extractive industries within the meaning of Article 1 (2) of Council Decision 74/326/EEC of 27 June 1974 on the extension of the responsibilities of the Mines Safety and Health Commission to all mineral-extracting industries (12).

Without prejudice to existing Community legislation, the criteria and procedures as set out in the Annex to this Decision shall not apply to waste resulting from prospecting, extraction, treatment and storage of mineral resources nor from the working of quarries, when they are deposited on-site.

For the purposes of headings Nos 26.01 to 26.17, the term "ores" means minerals of mineralogical species actually used in the metallurgical industry for the extraction of mercury, of the metals of heading No 28.44 or of the metals of Section XIV or XV, even if the are intended for non-metallurgical purposes.

"offshore work" means work performed mainly on or from offshore installations (including drilling rigs), directly or indirectly in connection with the exploration, extraction or exploitation of mineral resources, including hydrocarbons, and diving in connection with such activities, whether performed from an offshore installation or a vessel;

'offshore work' shall mean work performed mainly on or from offshore installations (including drilling rigs), directly or indirectly in connection with the exploration, extraction or exploitation of mineral resources, including hydrocarbons, and diving in connection with such activities, whether performed from an offshore installation or a vessel.

Without prejudice to Directive 75/442/EEC Member States may declare at their own option, that the deposit of non-hazardous waste, to be defined by the committee established under Article 17 of this Directive, other than inert waste, resulting from prospecting and extraction, treatment and storage of mineral resources as well as from the operation of quarries and which are deposited in a manner preventing environmental pollution or harm to human health, can be exempted from the provisions in Annex I, points 2, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Directive.
