English term or phrase: stope
The use of a STOPE light held from the side and directed at the rock face may provide
shadows that highlight the outline of a potentially unstable block or slab that can be removed
by scaling.

Apply shotcrete to the freshly exposed rock surface soon after the blast as
possible (generally before any broken rock is loaded out of the heading or
STOPE).

Ensure that controlled drilling and blasting practices are being used in all
development headings and STOPES;

The application of appropriate scaling procedures in narrow STOPES or development
headings raises a number of issues that should be addressed. Confined working conditions
in narrow headings can be found in situations ranging from wide flat dipping stopes to
narrow ladder rises.

degraus


Explanation:
Parece que "stope" é o nome dados para os degraus cortados em declives dentro da mina. Veja o 2º link.

Um tipo de lanterna que deve ser usada nos "stopes" ganhou o nome de "stope light". Pode ver como é no 1º link abaixo. Não conheço nenhum nome técnico para isso em PT.
