English to Spanish: What is ore? General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Mining & Minerals / Gems
Source text - English In its simplest and earliest form, prospecting only involved a close and detailed study of natural surface features and discrepancies. Finding outcrops of mineral bearing rocks, tracing boulders in glacial drift areas, panning for gold in streams - these were a few of the early techniques. Success often depended on chance. However, these ocular techniques could seldom discover the deeper, totally covered deposits. To locate these it was necessary to drill down from the surface or from an existing underground gallery or tunnel in order to obtain a sample for analysis.
Translation - Spanish En las formas más simples y tempranas de los sondeos de potencialidad minera, se realizaba un estudio fino y detallado de las características y discrepancias naturales de la superficie. Algunas de las primeras técnicas consistían en encontrar afloramientos de rocas con contenido mineral, en rastrear rocas en áreas de depósito glaciar, y en la colación de oro en arroyos. En estos casos el éxito estaba muchas veces librado a la suerte ya que con estas técnicas oculares raramente se encontraban los depósitos profundos y totalmente cubiertos. Para localizar dichos depósitos era necesario taladrar desde la superficie o desde una galería subterránea o túnel natural a fin de obtener una muestra para análisis.
