Abstract
Australia's mineral resources are an important component of its wealth, and a long term perspective of what is likely to be available for mining is a prerequisite for formulating sound policies on resources and land-access. The national resource stocks are quantified in the annual online publication: Australia's Identified Mineral Resources: http://www.australianminesatlas.gov.au/aimr/index.jsp, which provides Geoscience Australia's assessments based on its national mineral resource classification system. This paper summarises Australia's national classification system for Identified Mineral Resources. Estimating global stocks of mineral and energy commodities is becoming increasingly important. This requires mapping of categories between the various the mineral and energy classification systems in use, and rationalising these systems where feasible. This paper also outlines how Australia's national system correlates with other mineral and energy resource classification systems.
