Description

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in smelting non-ferrous metals, except aluminum, from ores; and refining these metals by electrolytic or other processes.

What 331410 includes

• Copper shapes (e.g., bar, billet, ingot, plate, sheet), made in primary copper smelting and refining mills
• Rolling or extruding basic shapes from metal produced in the same establishment

What 331410 excludes

• Aluminum smelting and refining (see 33131 alumina and aluminum production and processing)
• Producing bullion at a mine site (see 212220 gold and silver ore mining (can))
• Rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying purchased copper (see 331420 copper rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying)
• Rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying purchased non-ferrous metals, except aluminum and copper (see 331490 non-ferrous metal (except copper and aluminum) rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying (can))
