Reserve Categories

Reserve categories refer to classifications of resources or assets that are set aside for specific purposes or future use. In general knowledge, this can apply to natural resources, such as oil or minerals, which are divided into categories based on their certainty of existence and extraction potential. These categories typically include proven reserves (well-established and easily extractable), probable reserves (likely to be found and extracted but less certain), and possible reserves (speculative and less certain). Understanding these categories helps in assessing resource availability and planning for sustainable use in industries like energy, mining, and environmental management.
