Gold Reserves

  • Mining terminology includes two related but distinct and easily confused terms: reserves and resources.
  • Resources are deposits of a desirable metal, ore, or mineral that may or may not be economically viable to extract.
  • Reserves are resources that are economically profitable to extract.
  • Data on available reserves and resources are not always available. For example, Alaska’s reserves are known to be significantly higher than the listed total, but the precise value is yet undetermined.
