Mining: Methods of Search and Extraction of Rocks and Minerals
A reserve is a known source of the mineral, which has not yet been
mined. The minerals can be mined in the future when they are

are expected to last at present rates of use. It is calculated by
dividing the amount of reserves known to exist with the amount
used each year.
