French term

les parties (des carrieres) les plus sales

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering aggregates
les carrières seront mieux utilisées en exploitant les parties les plus fines ou les plus sales

Sorry, another one. Does 'sales' simply mean 'dirty' here, or is there a technical term for this 'part' of a quarry?

Thank you

dirtiest materials

It's not so much the geographical location in the quarry that is qualified as dirty (and fine) as the materials (sand, gravel) found there.

areas less pure

I would say they can exploit areas with less pure rock. But what is plus fine? They can only extract smaller blocks of rocks than usually?
