Classification Structure - Subdivision 640000 - Mineral Resources (Excl. Energy) (See Division 2, Introduction for more information)
Subdivision 640000 - Mineral Resources (Excl. Energy), covers R&D which primarily benefits or has application to the exploration, mining, extraction and processing of mineral resources. It includes R&D directed towards 'clean production' to minimise emissions to the environment from the exploration, mining, extraction and processing of mineral resources (excl. energy) or towards protection of the production site. This subdivision has four groups:
640200 - Primary Mining and Extraction Processes 640300 - First Stage Treatment of Ores and Minerals 640400 - Prevention and Treatment of Pollution Exclusions: R&D directed towards: (a) production of energy mineral resources is included in Subdivision 650000 Energy Resources; and (b) manufacture of processed products from mineral resources (incl. refining and smelting) is included in Subdivision 670000 Manufacturing.
This group covers R&D directed towards exploration for minerals including iron ore, other base metals, bauxite and other non-ferrous metal ores, precious metal ores, diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones, heavy mineral sands, stone, clay and other mineral and metal ores. This group has seven classes: 640101 - Iron ores (i.e. ferrous ores) 640102 - Aluminium ores 640103 - Precious (noble) metal ores 640104 - Titanium minerals, zircon, and rare earth metal ores (e.g. monazite) 640105 - Other non-ferrous ores (e.g. copper, zinc) 640106 - Stone and clay 640199 - Other non-metallic minerals (incl. diamonds) Exclusions: R&D directed towards: (a) 'clean production' to minimise emissions to the environment from the exploration for mineral resources (excl. energy) or towards protection of the exploration site is included in Group 640400 Prevention and Treatment of Pollution; and (b) exploration for energy minerals resources is included in Group 650100 Exploration.
This group covers R&D directed towards mining and extracting iron ore, other base metals, bauxite and other non-ferrous metal ores, precious metal ores, diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones, heavy mineral sands, stone, clay and other mineral and metal ores. This group has seven classes: 640201 - Iron ores (i.e. ferrous ores) 640202 - Aluminium ores 640203 - Precious (noble) metal ores 640204 - Titanium minerals, zircon, and rare earth metal ores (e.g. monazite) 640205 - Other non-ferrous ores (e.g. copper, zinc) 640206 - Stone and clay 640299 - Other non-metallic minerals (incl. diamonds) Exclusions: R&D directed towards: (a) 'clean production' to minimise emissions to the environment from the mining and extraction of mineral resources (excl. energy) or towards protection of the production site is included in Group 640400 Prevention and Treatment of Pollution; and (b) mining and extracting energy mineral resources is included in Group 650200 Mining and Extraction.
This group covers R&D directed towards processing minerals, including beneficiated iron ore, other base metal intermediates, alumina and other non-ferrous metal intermediates, precious metals, heavy mineral sands and other mineral and metal ore intermediate products and processing diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones prior to the cut gem stage. This group has seven classes: 640301 - Beneficiation or dressing of iron ores 640302 - Alumina production 640303 - Other beneficiation of bauxite and aluminium ores 640304 - Concentrating processes of other base metal ores 640305 - Production of unrefined precious metal ingots and concentrates 640306 - Beneficiation or dressing of non-metallic minerals (incl. diamonds) 640399 - Other Exclusions: R&D directed towards: (a) 'clean production' to minimise emissions to the environment from the processing of mineral resources (excl. energy) or towards protection of the production site is included in Group 640400 Prevention and Treatment of Pollution; (b) preparation and supply of energy mineral resources is included in Group 650300 Preparation and Supply of Energy Source Minerals; and (c) manufacture of processed mineral products (incl. refining and smelting) is included in Group 670800 Basic Metal Products (Incl. Smelting).
This group covers R&D directed towards 'clean production' to minimise emissions to the environment from the exploration, mining, extraction and processing of mineral resources (excl. energy) or towards protection of the production site. This group has three classes: 640401 - Exploration 640402 - Primary mining and extraction processes 640403 - First stage treatment of ores and minerals
