This standard is applicable to the engineering, work deployment, reserve (resource) computation and report preparation as well as to the assessment, registration and statistics of solid fuels and mineral resources/reserves, development of planning, policies on solid fuels and mineral resources, specifications, codes and guidelines for mineral exploration, and may serve as the basis for the assessment and computation of mineral resources/reserves involved in activities, e.g. assignment of mining right, financing for mineral exploration and exploitation.
2 Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply.
2.1 Solid fuels and mineral resources: are defined as naturally occurring solid concentrations of economic interest formed in earth crust or on surface due to geological actions. Basing on their output forms, quantities and quality, the final exploitation may be expected to be of technological feasibility and economic soundness. Their locations, quantities, grade/quality and geological characters are computed and estimated according
