   Zinc reserves
       Mineral [reserves](#dod:mineral-reserve) are resources that have been evaluated and can be mined economically with current technologies.
 Notes found in original USGS data: - For Australia, Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant or equivalent reserves were 23 million tons. - That part of the reserve base that could be economically extracted or produced at the time of determination. The term “reserves” need not signify that extraction facilities are in place and operative. Reserves include only recoverable materials; thus, terms such as “extractable reserves” and “recoverable reserves” are redundant and are not a part of this classification system. Additional information is available in Appendix C of the Mineral Commodity Summaries, included in this data release, for resource and reserve definitions and information concerning data sources. - For Australia, Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant or equivalent reserves were 21 million tons.

 - The majority of the data is sourced from USGS, supplemented by BGS data where available. Where both overlap, USGS data is prioritized. - As BGS does not provide global data, we calculated the world total by summing the data from individual countries, using this as a cross-check against USGS global figures. - Due to the inherent uncertainties in the data for certain minerals and countries, we allowed a maximum deviation of 10% between the global totals reported by USGS and the calculated ones for BGS. If the deviation exceeded this threshold, we excluded the BGS data. - The calculated global total from BGS data was used only on exceptional occasions, after ensuring that the resulting aggregate was sufficiently complete. - Both BGS and USGS datasets include numerous notes and footnotes. We have retained most of these, making only minor edits or deletions where necessary to maintain clarity.
