RE:RE:The sad PartEveryone is an armchair geologist. Lol Ore deposit
An ore deposit consists of one or more ore bodies. An ore body is a mass of rock that contain ore and from which a commodity of value will be extracted. Not all ore within an ore body will be extracted. Ore bodies are divided into reserves and resources. Reserves are ore that is economically feasible to mine and for which there are no legal or engineering impediments to mining, while resources are ores that may potentially be extracted at some point in the future. Engineering constraints is one of the factors that will influence what ore is economic to mine (Fig. 1). The mining of an ore body may be from a river stream, an open pit, an underground mine, or a combination of the two.
