stériles : Terres et roches improductives mêlées au minerai ou intercalées entre les filons et qu'il faut déblayer pour dégager le minerai. 4, record 1, French, - st%C3%A9rile
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le terme de stériles désigne, pour tout mineur, la roche qui ne contient pas ou plus de minerai, ou trop peu pour en rendre l'exploitation rentable. Elle est stérile au sens premier du terme «qui ne produit pas», par opposition à «fertile», c'est donc une appellation liée à l'économie et non, comme on pourrait le penser par association d'idées, à la protection. Elle pourrait désigner dans l'industrie de l'extraction de l'uranium l'ensemble des résidus miniers et de traitement, comme ce serait le cas pour tout autre minerai traité sur place. Cependant, pour éviter la confusion, on préfère, pour l'uranium, réserver le terme de stériles aux roches déplacées pour permettre l'exploitation d'un gisement et dont la teneur est soit quasi nulle, soit trop faible pour qu'elles soient exploitables au cours du marché. 5, record 1, French, - st%C3%A9rile
