. Explanatory notes
· ISIC, Rev .3 has been used to public this report.
· In case of mines where the mining and industrial activities have been conducted together at the sight of the mines , the data pertaining to the mining activities have been separated and then included with the survey's results.
· Data relating to the direct exports only include the mines , without intermediary selling value abroad.
· All inputs value , outputs value , value added , production value, investment value , direct exports value , and services compensation have been calculated at current prices in this report.
· Carvel and sand mines have been enumerated with approximate sampling fraction of 50 per cent and all mines excluding gravel and sand mines have been enumerated through a census.
