What is the difference between Potential and Reserve Resources.

I have NCERT book but I can't understand from their.

ShivanshVerma: According to me and after the search I made,
*Potential* resources are- The resources that have not been identified correctly and there couldn't the availability of technology for utilising them and the government do not have plans for using them and they are not really *reserving* them but because of certain reasons, those resources have not been used.
*Reserve* resources are- The resources that have been identified correctly and entirely and are reserved for future.

Potential resources are the sources that have been recognized but are not yet practiced due to the shortage of availability of technology. The administration does not have methods to use them in near prospect, but if required they can be produced and utilized. Uranium found in Ladakh is an instance of potential resources.

Reserves Resources are the sources which have been recognized and are completely maintained for present and future application. These are resources whose total amount is known. Available technology is utilized to employ these resources. Rich sediments of coal in Rubr area of Germany is an illustration of actual resources.
