What this NAICS covers
NAICS 213114 covers contracted exploration and operational support services for metal mining, such as core drilling, geophysical surveying, sampling, assaying coordination, and site preparation that enable ore discovery and mine development.
Federal opportunities under 213114 typically involve mobilizing drill rigs and trained crews, producing drill core logs and assay reports, conducting geophysical surveys and sample chain-of-custody, and performing access road or drill pad construction for exploration programs.

FAQ
What work fits NAICS 213114?
- Provide core drilling services with rigs, crews, and sample handling to produce continuous core and logging deliverables for metal exploration programs.
- Execute geophysical surveys (magnetic, electromagnetic, or gravity) and deliver interpreted datasets tied to precise site coordinates.
- Construct temporary drill pads and access roads to support exploration rigs while meeting specified disturbance limits and temporary erosion controls.
- Manage sample chain-of-custody, prepare assay packages, coordinate laboratory analysis, and deliver certified assay reports and core-log packages.
When is NAICS 213114 a weak fit?
- Metal ore extraction operations: day-to-day mineral extraction, ore hauling, and production under a mining operator's permit are primary mining activities rather than support services.
- Nonmetal mining support: support services specific to coal or industrial minerals use different equipment and regulatory approaches and fall under a different mining support classification.
- Mineral processing and smelting: metallurgical refining and smelting of concentrates at processing plants is downstream processing, not exploration or mining support work.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 213114?
- Statement of work lists deliverables such as drill core logs, assay certificates, geophysical data files with coordinate metadata, and interpreted maps.
- Performance requirements specify mobilization of defined drill rig types, certified drill operators, and documented chain-of-custody procedures for samples.
- Contract line items include temporary site works: drill pad construction, erosion control measures, and limited-duration access road construction to support exploration phases.
