Class Summary

<<FeatureType>> Classes
Commodity
<<FeatureType>>
The material of economic interest in the EarthResource
EarthResource
<<FeatureType>>
Identifes the kinds of observable or inferred phenomena required to classify economic and sub-economic earth resources
MineralOccurrence
<<FeatureType>>
NonMetallicOccurrence
<<FeatureType>>
<<DataType>> Classes
CommodityMeasure
<<DataType>>
A measure of the amount of the commodity based on a Reserve, Resource or Endowment calculation.
EarthResourceDimension
<<DataType>>
EarthResourceMaterial
<<DataType>>
Identifies the material found in the earth or produced from earth material that is of economic interest
Endowment
<<DataType>>
Endowment refers to that quantity of a mineral in accumulations (deposits) meeting specified physical characteristics such as quality, size and depth.
Usually includes Resources, as unlike the latter, it does not have to have prospects for "eventual economic extraction". It often includes the total amount of a commodity originally introduced to a particular location during the deposit forming processes - and thus can include resources, reserves, past production and mining and metallurgical losses.
MineralDepositModel
<<DataType>>
Systematically arranged information describing the essential attributes of a class of mineral deposits. May be empirical (descriptive) or theoretical (genetic).
MineralSystem
<<DataType>>
All geological features that control the generation and preservation of mineral deposits.
OreMeasure
<<DataType>>
The estimate of the Reserve, Resource or Endowment ore amount
Reserve
<<DataType>>
The economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined. ‘Marketable Coal Reserves’ maybe reported in conjunction with, but not instead of, reports of Ore (Coal) Reserves. ‘Saleable product’ (e.g. for industrial minerals) can be reported in conjunction with ore reserve.
Synonyms: Ore Reserve; Coal Reserve (s); Diamond (or gemstone) Ore Reserve; Mineral Reserves (not preferred, should be stated that used to mean the same as JORC’s Ore Reserve); Mineable production estimates
Resource
<<DataType>>
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.
Synonyms: Mineral Resource; Coal Resource (s); Diamond (Gemstone) Resource; Potentially Mineable Mineralisation
SupergeneProcesses
<<DataType>>
Metal enrichment produced by the chemical remobilisation of metals in an oxidised or transitional environment. Does a supergene process exist (Y/N)
