Abstract: The full computer-assistance and automation of mineral reserve calculation and classification are the development trend of mineral reserve calculation and are also an important link in promoting the informatization of geological and mineral work and the development of “digital mine”. A rapid accurate automatic classification of mineral reserves is the key to the realization of an automatic and intelligent mineral reserve calculation. In view of this issue and in light of the national classification standard, the automatic classification of mineral reserves is discussed, and its realization process described in combination with a real case.

Key words: Automatic classification of mineral reserves, Factors of mineral reserve classification, Quantification of geologically reliable degree, Quantification of economic significance, Mineral reserve
