 STOCK: materials in the environment which have the potential to satisfy human needs but human beings do not have the appropriate technology to access these.

RESERVE: the subset of the stock, which can be put into use with the help of existing technical ‘know-how’ but their use has not been started. These can be used for meeting future requirements.
