For steel products, would the extraction location be the mill where it is produced?

Jose, extraction would be where the iron ore and other components are mined, or where any recycled content is collected. The mill is the manufacturing location.

Hi Jose, I wanted to add to Tristan's comments about the regional materials credit and more specifically address the issue of using a material that has multiple manufacturing sites. As stated in NC-v2.2 MRc5, if you are using a material that has multiple points of manufacture you should use the manufacture site that is furthest away from your your site for the regional materials credit documentation. In addition, it is important to understand that a material should fall within a 500-mile radius of both it's extraction point and manufacturing point(s) in order to achieve the MRc5 credit.
