About this level
Practical summary
Class 0891 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under B Mining and Quarrying > 08 Other Mining and Quarrying > 089 Mining and quarrying, n.e.c.. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Baryte Mining, Guano Gathering, and Pyrite Mining. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.
Administrative context
Where this code is used
This class is used when a business can already narrow the activity family and only needs to compare the final subclasses such as Baryte Mining, Guano Gathering, and Pyrite Mining. It is the level most often checked before a five-digit decision is finalized.
Selection note
How to choose it
Use this class to choose between its final subclasses such as Baryte Mining, Guano Gathering, and Pyrite Mining. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.
Official note

FAQ
What does PSIC Class 0891 cover?
PSIC Class 0891 is the four-digit layer that sits just above the final subclasses and usually defines the activity family for Mining of chemical and fertilizer minerals.
How do I compare Class 0891 with the sibling classes?
Read the neighboring classes and compare the exact wording of the child subclasses. Nearby options include 0892 Extraction of peat and 0893 Extraction of salt.
Why does Class 0891 matter for a filing decision?
It is usually the last broad checkpoint before the five-digit subclass choice, so it is the right place to catch near-miss classifications.
