Portuguese term

minério do futuro

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems special coatings in dam galleries
Do any mining or dam construction experts out there have any idea of what “minério do futuro" is?


Mudança de projeto do dique 1 com a inclusão de filtro vertical e horizontal e envelopamento das galerias com areia ou “minério do futuro".

think I saw this link but that is talking about a concept of future eco mining etc, This is a term used in civil construction treatment of surfaces in galleries and drain ducts

Brazil is the leading producer of niobium and ferroniobium, an alloy of niobium and iron. Niobium is used mostly in alloys, the largest part in special steel such as that used in gas pipelines.

ore to be mined; ore to be extracted in the future

I understood the sentence as follows:

envelopamento das galerias com areia ou minério do futuro
=
envelopamento das galerias com areia ou minério que será extraído no futuro


However, that is a guess.
I thought about niobium too, but I don't know if it makes sense to use such an expensive ore as an enveloping material.

Well, let's see what our fellows think!

sterile ore

Nessa mineradora cujo nome não quero citar, mas cujo material reconheci através de seu contexto, eles tinham uma pilha de estéril que iriam usar em outro momento. Iriam usá-lo no futuro, sabe Deus no quê. Decidiram usar na construção da barragem tal, como camada de aterro final em valas de tubulação. Como iria ser usado no futuro, era chamado por eles de minério do futuro, mas acabou sendo usado no então presente. Não passa de estéril, apenas isso.
