CONT

[Une des] étapes de sédimentation de la couche de roches ferrugineuses inférieure à la mine Wabana [est la] formation, dans les régions favorables, d'une zone complexe de couches riches en hématite et en chamosite [...] renfermant très peu d'intercalaires stériles de shale [...]

OBS

Que le schiste soit de nature métamorphique (en anglais «schist») ou de nature sédimentaire et argileuse (en anglais «shale»), il s'agit quand même de schiste, et le terme «shale» reste en français un emprunt inutile.
