Mining Operations
Hi - I am translating a contract which is dealing with a Mining operation in Mali.
I keep coming across 'projet de sulfuré profond' or another example: 'découvert d'importants gisements de sulfuré profond'
I have been researching endlessly and cannot find the English term or what this means exactly.
Could it be 'Sulphate concentration'
Literally, I am guessing 'deep sulphate' - but I dont think that is it. Sulphate layer?
Any help greatly appreciated,
TIA.

Note the ambiguous "é", which is not generally used to describe a sulphide.

"SULFIDE" for US readers only. Curiously, Canadians seem to use the British "ph"!
