Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Science and statistics confirm the complete depletion of confirmed reserves and predicted resources of metals in the continental earth crust to a depth of 5000 m within 30-150 years (depending on projections of the volume of demand for their types). Absence of alternative in the historical time scale for production of metals by means of development of bowels determines necessity to search the opportunities of providing the growing demands of the mankind. This global problem is solved by the discovery of deposits of a new type, created by hitherto unused existing in nature geochemical patterns.
