The style of mineralization or other factors could mean that Proved Mineral Reserves are not achievable in some deposits. Generally the conversion of Mineral Resources into Mineral Reserves requires the application of various Modifying Factors, including, but not restricted to: mining factors; mineral processing / ore dressing related factors;
When the economic feasibility of a project has been demonstrated, by taking into account Modifying Factors (i.e. mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors), then a Mineral Reserve can be declared. [7]
The exact definitions of key terms like 'Modifying Factors', 'Inferred'-, 'Indicated'- and 'Measured Mineral Resources' as well as 'Probable' or 'Proved Mineral Reserves' are documented in the PERC Reporting Standard.
Mineral resource estimation is used to determine and define the ore tonnage and grade of a geological deposit, from the developed block model.There are different estimation methods used for different scenarios dependent upon the ore boundaries, geological deposit geometry, grade variability and the amount of time and money available.
The surface modifying factor, , is related to both the tensile strength, , of the material and the surface finish of the machine component. k S = a S u t b {\displaystyle k_{S}=aS_{ut}^{b}} Where factor a and exponent b present in the equation are related to the surface finish.
Resource estimates are undiscovered volumes, or volumes that have not yet been drilled and flowed to surface. A non-reserve resource, by definition, does not have to be technically or commercially recoverable and can be represented by a single, or an aggregate of multiple potential accumulations, e.g. an estimated geological basin resource.

In statistics and regression analysis, moderation (also known as effect modification) occurs when the relationship between two variables depends on a third variable.The third variable is referred to as the moderator variable (or effect modifier) or simply the moderator (or modifier).
The ACR is the inverse of the application factor (AF). This makes it easier for regulators to visualize data as whole numbers rather than decimals. The AF is calculated by dividing the Maximum Acceptable Toxicant Concentration (MATC) by the Lethal Concentration that kills 50% of test organisms in an acute toxicity test ( LC50 ).
