If the facility performs any processing (converting ore into high-value concentrate e.g., comminution, dewatering, beneficiation), fill out this column with the average annual output tonnage of the metal or element content contained in the concentrate produced. ( E.g., If you produce a concentrate that contain multiple recoverable critical materials, please calculate each recoverable material content contained in your concetrate and fill out the annual average amount in each respective material below) |
If the facility performs any refining at all (converting a concentrate into metal or element e.g., smelting, purifying, reduction), fill out this column with the average annual output tonnage of each respective metal or element produced. |
If the facility performs any recycling activities, fill out this column with the average annual output tonnage of the metal or element produced/recovered from the recyling activity. |

Please list the direct jobs that will be created during both construction and operations of the facility. For retrofits/reequipped facilities, please list the number of current jobs for the purposes of calculating incremental operating jobs created by the project. Please be as specific as possible.
Direct jobs are those jobs represented by the number of people whose work is directly billed to the project.
Do not list Indirect Jobs, defined as employees included in the supply chain who are not directly billed to the project. Examples include:
- Producers of equipment or services that are used on the project
- Accounting or administrative services
- End-use installers
- Operating jobs unrelated to the project (for a GHG reduction project in a steel facility, do not count steelworkers not working on the GHG reduction)
The review team will calculate indirect jobs using a consistent methodology. |
