Mining & Quarrying of Nonmetallic Minerals (No Fuels)

Mining & Quarrying of Nonmetallic Minerals (No Fuels)

Mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals under SIC 1400 covers producers of limestone, gypsum, aggregates, clays, sand, gravel, silica, and other industrial minerals that feed cement, asphalt, glass, ceramics, agriculture, and chemical manufacturing supply chains; core customers include construction firms, infrastructure contractors, ready-mix and cement plants, ag input suppliers, and glass or semiconductor material makers. Operators contend with permitting delays, reclamation obligations, MSHA/OSHA safety rules, air and water quality limits, dust and noise controls, volatile fuel and freight costs, and community opposition to new pits. In 2024-2025, demand is buoyed by U.S. infrastructure and renewable buildouts, while high-purity silica gains from solar and chip capacity, and producers deploy drones, automation, and fleet telematics to lift yields and ESG reporting. Rising scrutiny around carbon intensity, water stewardship, and recycling of construction debris shapes capital plans.
