Agree that scale should not be relevant. . . In the American west there were and still are mines that are one person operations. Does it mean that they are not mining because they don't have a "industrial scale" business?. If there were a distinction between a small operation (bakery) and a large one (bread factory) it might be between "craft" and "industrial". I can see this could be used for other areas too like pottery, printing, etc. But I was unaware that OSM cared about the size of the operation other than how to bound it with a polygon. To me the gathering and refining of a mineral is a mining operation. Even if the gathering takes a bunch of flat land in a tidal area.
