Abstract
It is explicit that metal mass concentrated in ore-bodies (reserves) can reflect an integrated fluidic flow, which is actually a concentrated manifestation of a large-scale mass transfer of ore materials by aqueous fluids flowing through certain sections of the Earth's crust; whereas its masses scattered in wall-rocks or alteration halo reflect a dispersed flow, namely a loss of metal mass; and efficiency of mineralization can be defined as a ratio of metal reserves to its total supply.134
