sch.2-sec.30Metal smelting and refining

### sch.2-sec.30 Metal smelting and refining Metal smelting and refining (the relevant activity ) consists of processing ores, ore concentrates or impure metals to produce in a year— 1t or more of gold; or 10t or more of— a metal, other than gold; or a metalloid. In the following table, the aggregate environmental score for the relevant activity is the score stated opposite the threshold within which the relevant activity is carried out. Threshold Aggregate environmental score 3 processing in a year— 1t to 100t of gold 107 C 10t to 100t of metalloids or metals other than gold 107 C more than 100t but not more than 10,000t of metals or metalloids 205 C more than 10,000t of metals or metalloids 316 C In this section— metalloid means an element that is both metallic and non-metallic. arsenic, bismuth, silicon processing includes smelting.
