*Identified resources.
Mineral resources differ from mineral reserves. Mineral resources can be defined as natural concentrations of minerals or, in the case of aggregates, bodies of rock that are, or may become, of economic interest due to their inherent properties. The mineral must also be present in sufficient quantity to make it of intrinsic economic interest.
