- Authors:
- K. N. Trubetskoi
- A. A. Peshkov
- N. A. Matsko
An approach to assessing the availability of mineral resources and reserves is outlined. Examples of changes in the availability of reserves in the process of their exploration, preparation, development and processing are given. The influence of scientific and technological progress on the availability of deposits is shown. The dependences of the probabilities of involvement in the development of mineral reserves on the level of their availability are established.
