eEstimated; estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.  rRevised.  -- Zero.
1Table includes data available through March 2004.
2In addition to the commodities listed, Belgium produced a number of other metals and alloys, for which only aggregate output figures were available.
3Reported figure.
4Data not reported; derived by taking reported total lead output plus exports of lead bullion less imports of lead bullion.
5Data represent secondary refined lead output less remelted lead.  As such, the figures are probably high because they include some lead that was
sufficiently pure as scrap that did not require remelting, but data are not adequate to permit differentiation.
6Construction materials, such as dimension stone and sand and gravel, are also reproduced, but the amounts are no longer reported, and no basis exists
for the formulation of reliable estimates of output levels.
