ALTA MINERIA

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
SISTEMA DE CINTAS ALTA MINERIA - used to move cargo at a port.
My guesses would be either large-scale mining or surface mining, but I can't find evidence for either translation.

He incluido ejemplos de varias muestras de las correas necesarias en los puertos. Aunque existen correas que cargan un máximo de 100Lbs. dudo que en un puerto se utilicen.
Gracias por sus comentarios. Buen día.
Tracy Byrne (asker) Nov 24, 2008:
Context request Sorry, but there isn't much more context as it's a list of equipment at a port to load/unload cargo for ships. Other pieces of equipment are mobile cranes, hoppers, etc.
Gilberto Diaz Castro Nov 24, 2008:
This does not make any sense; can you provide the context as being used? Thanks.

high-end mining

"high-end" in the sense that this type of mining uses "heavy-duty" equipment (the biggest machines etc.)

La Formula 1 en este tipo de máquinas es la alta minería (máquinas de 2000 a 8000 tn o más ) son las máquinas más grandes, más modernas, y sobre todo con las hidraúlicas más potentes.

Alta minería,Toquepala
Se utilizan grandes capitales y maquinaria para extraer minerales y procesarlos.

Reference in English:

Eastern Mining supplies high-end mining equipment (including continuous miners) and skilled operators and mining labour, and Kelmech is a specialist in coal mine maintenance, shutdowns and major fabrication projects.

Note from asker:
My only doubt is that "high-end" usually means of high value rather than large scale, so it would be misleading if the client actually means the conveyor belt system can handle large amounts. Unfortunately it's not clear from the text!

Conveyor belts

Son las cintas que se utilizan para mover granos, agregados / minerales / cualquier producto que es transportado en grandes cantidades que no son envasados. Las "cintas" o correas de minería pueden transportar dicha carga hasta un camión / vagón de tren / un molino o un almacén cercano

Las correas transportan casi cualquier cosa, son construidas para el propósito que el cliente tenga. Por ejemplo:

Note from asker:
Although they are conveyor belts for mining materials, I need to know what kind of mining material, such as large scale, high value, etc etc. Unfortunately the text doesn't provide much context. Thanks anyway.
