Keyword Definition

A 'Mineral Resource' is a concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic economic interest in or on the earth's crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.  Mineral Resources are further sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into inferred, indicated and measured categories.
