213 Basic Non-Ferrous Metal Manufacturing
This group contains the following ANZSIC classes:
2131 Alumina Production
This class consists of units mainly engaged in refining bauxite to form alumina (aluminium oxide).
Primary activities
- Alumina manufacturing
- Bauxite refining
- Calcined alumina manufacturing
2132 Aluminium Smelting
This class consists of units mainly engaged in smelting alumina to produce aluminium, or recovering aluminium from scrap. The aluminium is cast into basic shapes or may be cast according to customer specifications. Also included in this class are units manufacturing aluminium alloys from primary aluminium smelted at the same unit.
Primary activities
- Aluminium casting
- Aluminium from scrap recovery
- Aluminium smelting (from alumina)
- Electrolytic aluminium manufacturing
2133 Copper, Silver, Lead and Zinc Smelting and Refining
This class consists of units mainly engaged in primary smelting or refining of copper, silver, lead or zinc, or in the recovery of these metals from waste or scrap. The metal is cast into ingots or other basic shapes. This class also includes by-production of sulphuric acid in conjunction with the smelting of these metals.
Primary activities
- Blister copper manufacturing
- Copper smelting, refining
- Copper, silver, lead or zinc from scrap or waste material recovering
- Electrolytic copper manufacturing
- Electrolytic zinc manufacturing
- Lead smelting or refining
- Silver-lead bullion manufacturing
- Silver smelting, refining
- Spelter manufacturing
- Wire bar, copper, manufacturing
- Zinc smelting or refining
Exclusions/References
Units mainly engaged in mining but not smelting ores of copper, silver, lead and zinc are included in the appropriate classes of Group 080 Metal Ore Mining.
2139 Other Basic Non-Ferrous Metal Manufacturing
This class consists of units mainly engaged in primary smelting, secondary smelting and refining of other non-ferrous metals, or in the recovery of such metals from drosses, ashes, scrap or other waste material. The metal is cast into ingots or other basic shapes. This class also includes units mainly engaged in manufacturing non-ferrous metal powders or flakes of molybdenum, tantalum or tungsten.
Primary activities
- Antimony, refined, manufacturing
- Bismuth smelting or refining
- Bronze manufacturing
- Can de-tinning
- Gold refining
- Molybdenum metal powder or flake manufacturing
- Nickel oxide production in association with nickel smelting
- Nickel smelting or refining
- Non-ferrous alloy manufacturing n.e.c.
- Non-ferrous metal n.e.c. from waste material recovering
- Non-ferrous metal n.e.c. refining
- Rare earth metal smelting
- Silicon smelting
- Solder manufacturing
- Tantalum metal powder manufacturing
- Tin smelting
- Titanium smelting
- Welding rod manufacturing
Exclusions/References
Units mainly engaged in
- production of unrefined gold bullion as part of an integrated mining unit are included in Class 0804 Gold Ore Mining;
- manufacturing of metallic compounds n.e.c. not in association with smelting are included in Class 1813 Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing; and
- manufacturing welding and foundry fluxes are included in Class 1899 Other Basic Chemical Product Manufacturing n.e.c.
