1. Scope and Applicability

Cover the full residual other metal-ore/concentrate category: manganese, cobalt, lead, zinc, tin, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, tantalum, vanadium, zirconium, antimony and other individually qualifying metallurgical ore families, including actual mercury, bismuth, beryllium, lithium or rare-earth ore only after mineralogical/processing and no-other-category review. Manganese and chromium are included here by the historical official correspondence despite everyday ferrous/nonferrous terminology; do not drop them by metal-use convention. Each dataset selects an actual geological deposit/ore assemblage, raw/prepared/concentrated or admissible roasted mineral state and mine/plant/loading or expressly included receipt gate. Raw ore-only sorting/loading, hard-rock crushing/grinding/classification and actual physical gravity/flotation/magnetic/electrostatic separation, mineral-sand recovery and dewatering/drying are distinct conditional routes. Sulphide Pb/Zn flotation is an evidenced route, not mandatory for oxidised ores or other families. Scheelite and wolframite require separate actual gravity/flotation/magnetic circuits; cassiterite, chromite, ilmenite/rutile/zircon, columbite/tantalite and other mineral assemblages require their own actual phase, liberation and separator protocols, not a universal sulphide recipe. Include actual normal-metallurgical mineral preparation while retaining the declared qualifying ore/concentrate gate. Explicitly include both unroasted and roasted molybdenum ores/concentrates under HS2613; actual roasting has a separate measured phase, moisture, sulphur, oxygen, dust and off-gas balance. No blanket unheated limit and no default roast conversion or yield. Another thermal treatment requires individual normal-metallurgical processing and product-gate review; synthetic rutile, purified oxide, salt, metal, alloy, carbide or intermediate chemical cannot be called ore merely because its element came from a mine. The HS26 mineralogical-species/normal-metallurgy definition admits qualifying ores even for nonmetallurgical intended use, not every mineral containing a trace metal. Ferruginous manganese qualification requires measured dry Mn at least20% under HS2602; this criterion does not impose that purity on all manganese deposits or ores, and ordinary iron ore is separate. Current CPC3 notes/detail name14290 without family explanation/current HS2022 correspondence; historical official CPC2.1 HS2012/2017 list includes260200,260500,260700,260800,260900,261000,261100,261310,261390,261400,261510,261590,261710,261790. Use this and original HS2022 as candidate semantic evidence, not a current accepted HS mapping. Exclude uranium/thorium ores, copper/nickel/aluminium/precious-metal reference products, iron ore, industrial slag/ash/sludge/matte, scrap and recycled-metal residues, smelting/refining/electrowinning, metal/chemical manufacture, formulated mixtures and finished articles. Associated excluded-family co-products from actual polymetallic circuits retain separate identities, burdens and allocation, never relabelled residual ore. Natural radioactivity within a permitted rare-earth mineral requires actual U/Th/radionuclide impurity characterization and fate; a uranium/thorium reference ore remains excluded. Include actual development/closure, infrastructure attribution, controls, water, residues, storage/loading and included delivery; supplied mineral feed carries its actual provider rather than duplicate extraction. wco-other-metal-ores-2022, unsd-other-ore-scope-2026, epa-leadzinc-beneficiation-1994, bgs-tungsten-beneficiation-2011, ifc-mining-2007

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_basis	final_product	Mass	kg	D is the positive accepted net gate-output total in kg. Exclude packaging and cancelled internal transfers. cp_output records D; every card uses per 1 kg reference flow.
conversion	utility and material rows	Declared row property	kg; m3; MJ	Retain raw readings. Electricity: 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Mass/volume conversion requires measured density, temperature and applicable pressure; retain water content and active chemical fraction.
category_balance	production	Mass	kg	D is independently calibrated positive net accepted as-received whole ore/concentrate mass kg at the selected gate excluding packaging/rejects/returns and reconciled with stocks. All cards use this same D. For measured wet-basis free-water fraction w,0 <= w <1, dry product mass = D(1-w); preserve hydrate phases, distinguish structural water and carbonate/organic losses from free moisture. For measured dry-basis elemental assay gE,0 <= gE <=1, contained element mass = D(1-w)gE; retain D denominator rather than normalizing to contained Zn or another metal. For assay expressed as oxide-equivalent E_aO_b, contained element = dry massgOxaM(E)/M(E_aO_b); record species and molar masses. WO3/TiO2/ZrO2/Nb2O5/Ta2O5/V2O5/Cr2O3 equivalents are analytical conventions, not automatically actual oxide phases, mineral purity or smelting products. Mineral fraction requires independently identified phases and compositions, especially mixed Nb/Ta and variable wolframite/chromite assemblages; do not infer pure stoichiometric mineral from elemental assay alone. Geological resource cards record extracted contained element with its measured ore-grade basis, separately from purchased bulk ore mass, not a finished-metal product or duplicate ore resource. Reconcile metal-by-metal and bulk dry-solids feed, each accepted concentrate/co-product, tailings/waste rock/dust, stock changes and measured losses. Recovery = matched accepted output dry masselement fraction / matched input dry masselement fraction after stock corrections, not output grade alone; raw-ore-only gates have no invented concentrating yield. Actual roasting needs input/output phase-specific metal and sulfur assays, oxygen intake, water and SO2/dust/captured-residue balance with measured inventories; roasted Mo oxide-bearing mineral concentrate is not assumed pure MoO3 and no universal conversion is prescribed. Match fresh/recycled/evaporated/discharged water separately. No fixed assay, yield, reagent dose, fuel intensity, lost-metal zero or negative tailings credit.

System boundary rules · 3

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_operations`	site	Cover the full residual other metal-ore/concentrate category: manganese, cobalt, lead, zinc, tin, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, tantalum, vanadium, zirconium, antimony and other individually qualifying metallurgical ore families, including actual mercury, bismuth, beryllium, lithium or rare-earth ore only after mineralogical/processing and no-other-category review. Manganese and chromium are included here by the historical official correspondence despite everyday ferrous/nonferrous terminology; do not drop them by metal-use convention. Each dataset selects an actual geological deposit/ore assemblage, raw/prepared/concentrated or admissible roasted mineral state and mine/plant/loading or expressly included receipt gate. Raw ore-only sorting/loading, hard-rock crushing/grinding/classification and actual physical gravity/flotation/magnetic/electrostatic separation, mineral-sand recovery and dewatering/drying are distinct conditional routes. Sulphide Pb/Zn flotation is an evidenced route, not mandatory for oxidised ores or other families. Scheelite and wolframite require separate actual gravity/flotation/magnetic circuits; cassiterite, chromite, ilmenite/rutile/zircon, columbite/tantalite and other mineral assemblages require their own actual phase, liberation and separator protocols, not a universal sulphide recipe. Include actual normal-metallurgical mineral preparation while retaining the declared qualifying ore/concentrate gate. Explicitly include both unroasted and roasted molybdenum ores/concentrates under HS2613; actual roasting has a separate measured phase, moisture, sulphur, oxygen, dust and off-gas balance. No blanket unheated limit and no default roast conversion or yield. Another thermal treatment requires individual normal-metallurgical processing and product-gate review; synthetic rutile, purified oxide, salt, metal, alloy, carbide or intermediate chemical cannot be called ore merely because its element came from a mine. The HS26 mineralogical-species/normal-metallurgy definition admits qualifying ores even for nonmetallurgical intended use, not every mineral containing a trace metal. Ferruginous manganese qualification requires measured dry Mn at least20% under HS2602; this criterion does not impose that purity on all manganese deposits or ores, and ordinary iron ore is separate. Current CPC3 notes/detail name14290 without family explanation/current HS2022 correspondence; historical official CPC2.1 HS2012/2017 list includes260200,260500,260700,260800,260900,261000,261100,261310,261390,261400,261510,261590,261710,261790. Use this and original HS2022 as candidate semantic evidence, not a current accepted HS mapping. Exclude uranium/thorium ores, copper/nickel/aluminium/precious-metal reference products, iron ore, industrial slag/ash/sludge/matte, scrap and recycled-metal residues, smelting/refining/electrowinning, metal/chemical manufacture, formulated mixtures and finished articles. Associated excluded-family co-products from actual polymetallic circuits retain separate identities, burdens and allocation, never relabelled residual ore. Natural radioactivity within a permitted rare-earth mineral requires actual U/Th/radionuclide impurity characterization and fate; a uranium/thorium reference ore remains excluded. Include actual development/closure, infrastructure attribution, controls, water, residues, storage/loading and included delivery; supplied mineral feed carries its actual provider rather than duplicate extraction.	wco-other-metal-ores-2022, unsd-other-ore-scope-2026, epa-leadzinc-beneficiation-1994, bgs-tungsten-beneficiation-2011, ifc-mining-2007
`boundary_partition`	all exchanges	Include actual conditioning, storage, handling and pollution controls through the declared gate. Account for attributable construction and closure with a disclosed lifetime-output basis or justified exclusion and sensitivity. Separate purchased fuel supply from foreground combustion and purchased treatment from site releases.
`boundary_completeness`	inventory	Cards define individual likely exchanges and route conditions, not an exhaustive site audit. Add each actual absent chemical, waste, resource, land transformation and pollutant as its own row. Absence, measured zero and unknown must be distinguished.

Allocation rules · 3

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_hierarchy`	joint production	Prefer process subdivision or defensible system expansion; otherwise use demonstrated physical causality. Use economic allocation only with consistent period, price, currency and sensitivity when physical causality is unavailable. Retain the unallocated inventory.	ef-allocation-2021
`allocation_product`	reference and co-products	Subdivide actual mine/family and beneficiation/roasting circuits before allocating shared burdens. Retain unallocated joint ore inventory and independent accepted Mn/Co/Pb/Zn/Sn/Cr/W/Mo/Ti/Nb/Ta/V/Zr/Sb or other concentrates and any copper/nickel/precious co-products with their own identity and gate. Contained metals in one sold mixed concentrate are compositional assays, not separately sold outputs; mixed Nb-Ta concentrate is one actual product unless distinct accepted products are demonstrably recovered. Use physical causality where supported, otherwise consistent period/grade/price/currency economic allocation with sensitivity. Tailings/backfill are waste or managed internal placement unless independent saleable specification/fate justifies co-product; backfill does not automatically earn avoided aggregate/closure credits. Attribute lifetime development/closure once over measured accepted production; supplied feed links upstream burden or justified cut-off. No automatic avoided metal, fertilizer, synthetic chemical or waste-treatment credit.
`allocation_waste`	waste and recycling	Classify each output by physical state and actual fate. A sale does not automatically make a residue a co-product; internal recycling receives no avoided-product credit. Apply treatment burdens once.

Validation rules · 3

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule
`validate_reference`	final_product	Verify 1 kg, positive D, product state, property/unit and every required qualifier. Each dataset fixes one product and route.
`validate_balance`	site	D is independently calibrated positive net accepted as-received whole ore/concentrate mass kg at the selected gate excluding packaging/rejects/returns and reconciled with stocks. All cards use this same D. For measured wet-basis free-water fraction w,0 <= w <1, dry product mass = D(1-w); preserve hydrate phases, distinguish structural water and carbonate/organic losses from free moisture. For measured dry-basis elemental assay gE,0 <= gE <=1, contained element mass = D(1-w)gE; retain D denominator rather than normalizing to contained Zn or another metal. For assay expressed as oxide-equivalent E_aO_b, contained element = dry massgOxaM(E)/M(E_aO_b); record species and molar masses. WO3/TiO2/ZrO2/Nb2O5/Ta2O5/V2O5/Cr2O3 equivalents are analytical conventions, not automatically actual oxide phases, mineral purity or smelting products. Mineral fraction requires independently identified phases and compositions, especially mixed Nb/Ta and variable wolframite/chromite assemblages; do not infer pure stoichiometric mineral from elemental assay alone. Geological resource cards record extracted contained element with its measured ore-grade basis, separately from purchased bulk ore mass, not a finished-metal product or duplicate ore resource. Reconcile metal-by-metal and bulk dry-solids feed, each accepted concentrate/co-product, tailings/waste rock/dust, stock changes and measured losses. Recovery = matched accepted output dry masselement fraction / matched input dry masselement fraction after stock corrections, not output grade alone; raw-ore-only gates have no invented concentrating yield. Actual roasting needs input/output phase-specific metal and sulfur assays, oxygen intake, water and SO2/dust/captured-residue balance with measured inventories; roasted Mo oxide-bearing mineral concentrate is not assumed pure MoO3 and no universal conversion is prescribed. Match fresh/recycled/evaporated/discharged water separately. No fixed assay, yield, reagent dose, fuel intensity, lost-metal zero or negative tailings credit.
`validate_coverage`	handoff	Verify each applicable exchange, its provider or environmental compartment and final waste fate; identify skipped checks, unresolved identities, missing measurements and upstream gaps. Errors or unassessed mandatory coverage cannot be labelled complete.
