Notes:
In addition to the commodities listed, Belgium produced a
number of other metals and alloys, for which only aggregate
output figures were available.
(e) Estimated; estimated data are rounded to no more
than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
(r) Revised. -- Zero.
(1) Table includes data available through March 2003.
(2) Reported figure.
(3) Data not reported; derived by taking reported
total lead output plus exports of lead bullion less imports
of lead bullion.
(4) Data represent secondary refined lead output
less remelted lead. As such, the figures are probably high
because they include some lead that was suuficiently pure
as scrap that did not require remelting, but data are not
adequate to permit differentiation.
