Özet
In the mining industry, definitions of terms such as geologic resource, geologic reserve, mineral
resource, mineral, mineral reserve, ore, ore reserve, mineable reserve, and industrial minerals
always have been debated, and have caused much confusion. The process of arriving at these
definitions requires complicated exploration, calculation, and evaluation. Based on such work,
the definitions about the mineral property will be distinctly different. The aims of this paper
is to discuss and compare these definitions, and then contrast the differences among them in
the example of the Hasan¸celebi iron are deposit, which is an important source of iron ore in
Turkey.
