A mineral reserve is the economically
mineable part of a measured and/or indicated mineral resource.
The complex of layers A-F, the thickest in north-eastern Estonia, is called the
mineable bed.
--high losses related to oil shale mining--to support the roofs of mining shafts, about 2530% of
mineable oil shale is left as pillars;
Uranium ore is a finite quantity on our planet, and has become more difficult to find in
mineable quantities, so like oil and gas the price has tended to rise.
Coalspur's flagship project is Vista, which covers approximately 10,000 hectares and provides a large scale, surface
mineable, thermal coal development.
Only 690 million tonnes of
mineable polyhalite ore are needed to deliver 50 years of production.
According to the guidelines as laid down by the International Energy Association (UCG ISBN 978-92-9029-471-9) UCG is unsuitable for a shallow
mineable deposit like Thar.
Its total
mineable reserves are estimated at 193m tons.
The country's
mineable deposits contain large quantities of clay and kerogen (fossilized material), which makes them more difficult to fracture and therefore less productive.
About 27,000 metres of drilling is focusing on a proposed pit shell to better define its
mineable gold calculations.
The geochemical concentrations of gold and base metals in HMCs from Indus and Kurram rivers suggest encouraging results and existence of potentially economical
mineable placers at some localities.
