An approach to differentiation and evaluation of mineral resource potential in coal mining

Abstract A mining company is a complex probabilistic system which functions in-between the geological and market environments. These environments are carriers of various uncertainties have influence on business success. The authors discuss background differentiation mineral resource potential in terms coal field as transformation natural possibility to manmade reality. It distinguished between limit, achievable investment potentials. This type design takes into account stages exploration, study properties actual subsoil use object. static, ergodic non-ergodic categories uncertainty discussed.
