Description

Economic units primarily engaged in the exploitation of minerals valued mainly for their nitrogen and potassium content; the exploitation of bloedite, kieserite, thenardite and glauberite, and the products derived from these, such as sodium and magnesium sulfates; the exploitation of witherite; natural borates; concentrates containing boron compounds, and other non-metallic minerals valued mainly for being a source of chemical substances.
