[...] la différence entre une «réserve» et une «ressource» est [...] que l'extraction des réserves est viable sur le plan économique, alors que ce n'est pas le cas pour les ressources. Ainsi, une ressource minérale (contrairement à une réserve minérale) n'a pas démontré sa viabilité économique et pourrait ne pas être viable sur le plan économique à l'heure actuelle. 4, record 1, French, - ressource%20min%C3%A9rale
