How to read this
A permit is linked to the industrial park that is closest in a straight line, within 250 km. Where the holder itself runs units in a park, that park comes first and is marked as a known relation.
This is an inference. Ore can be shipped between regions and some mines have their own smelter. Delivery records are not public.
