Minerals Definition, Occurrence and Classification

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solid homogeneous substances composed of atoms having an orderly and regular arrangement with definite chemical composition and a characteristic geometric form, such as quartz (SiO 2), Orthoclase (KAlSi 3 O 8), Calcite (CaCO 3), Olivine [(Mg, Fe)2SiO 4 ] and gypsum (CaSO 4.2H 2 O).

Mineral resource classification

Mineral resource classification is the classification of mineral resources based on an increasing level of geological knowledge and confidence. Mineral deposits can be classified as Mineral resources that are potentially valuable, and for which reasonable prospects exist for eventual economic extraction.

Reserve vs occurrence Energy Education

Both the terms occurrence and reserve refer to some amount of a resource, however, the ideas are fundamentally different.Primary fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium are materials that occur on the Earth, and have associated occurrences and reserves.However, flows in nature like wind, solar and hydro only have associated occurrences, and no reserves as there is no "stockpile" of them.
