Bonjour à tous,

J'espère trouver de l'aide, car là je suis un peu coincée. Je cherche à traduire l'expression "corps de fond", comme par exemple dans cette phrase:

"En pratique, la présence du corps de fond de la schoénite conduisait à des pertes remarquables de potassium dans les stériles d'alite..."

Merci d'avance à tous/toutes pour votre aide !

deep ore bodies
Explanation:
I think this is referring to how deeply the potassium ore body is buried. So your phrase could be something like: "In practice, the presence of deeply buried shoenite ore bodies leads to reamrkable loss of potassium..."
