to host / host [rock] Explanation: I've found the terms "bed rock", "wall rock" and "enclosing rock" also, but "host rock" seems to be the idea here, i.e., the rock "hosting" the ore. It's also called "country rock". English-Spanish and Spanish-English Glossary of Geoscience Terms host rock > roca huesped, roca encajonante http://tinyurl.com/n87334v Here's an entry from a UNAM glossary (from Mexico): host rock, wall rock, enclosing rock: roca encajonante, roca encajante (Es), roca de caja http://rmcg.geociencias.unam.mx/LGM/minerales/mineros.pdf A previous KudoZ answer also has "hosting rock" for roca encajonante, but all I've been able to find so far points to "host rock" as the more common term. http://esl.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/mining_minerals... Host rock is, simply, the rock surrounding the ore deposit. Host rocks, as the definition suggests, may be found as a host to any kind of ore deposit, from gold to uranium. Host rock may also be defined as the type of rock where mineralization occurs. Host rocks are significant in identifying the age of the mineral deposit. http://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=1224 Host Rock Rock surrounding an ore body. Also known as country rock. http://resourceopportunities.com/geology-processes-explained... Country rock is a geological term meaning the rock native to an area. It is similar and in many cases interchangeable with the terms basement and wall rocks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_rock_(geology) |
