A small section by count with high-value accounts: mine operators, quarries, sand and gravel pits, oil and gas producers and the service companies around them. Division 08 (quarrying) usually has the most rows; 09 (support services) is where drilling and engineering contractors register. Chile and Peru are the copper economies; Brazil, Argentina and Colombia add iron ore, lithium, oil and coal. In Colombia, rows carry the ISIC division (Colombian CIIU classes are national, so there is no ISIC class); size is known for 4%; 3.0% have a corporate e-mail domain (Supersociedades filers and two chambers); 529 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. Department is the chamber's seat for most Colombian rows, and status comes from renewal and liquidation signals rather than a single flag.
