Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems / Mexico | | Spanish term or phrase: apartado | This is from a glossary of silversmithing terms. I was considering using "separating house" but I only find a few hits in a Google search in this context (and they are either old or refer to nitroglycerine production). Does anyone know what this would be called today?
Apartado. En la minería, operación por la que se determina la ley del oro y la plata. Conjunto de operaciones que se ejecutan con el oro sacado de su mina, para obtenerlo completamente puro. Operación de apartar metales. En México, el edificio dependiente de la Casa de Moneda donde se hacía esta operación. |

| Note from asker to answererI'm going to use "separation" because I find links for that term in context, but I wouldn't have thought of that if you hadn't suggested "sorting". Thanks for your help!

| Notes to answerer
Asker: Yaotl: thanks for your answer, but are you able to give me some references? I can't find this used with descriptions of silver/gold ore processing. I find a lot of discussion of "separation" of the ore from the waste material around it, but not "sorting" (except for "sorting houses" which mostly appear in a context that isn't referring to modern mining). Thx!
