English term or phrase: fresh rock, hard rock
"Although they were primarily interested in mining fresh rock, saprolite develops on fresh rock and any gold in the fresh rock will be in the saprolite overlying the veins."

(...)

"A modest investment is required to turn the hard rock processing set up into a pilot plant. "

These terms repeat over nd over... I see brazilians use hard rock in english sometimes, but not fresh rock. And if anyone could tell me the difference, I would appreciate it!-)

thank you
