minerai sous forme de boue


Explanation:
'wet' slurry looks like a pleonasm to me, so I suggest not to translate the word 'wet'

boues d'alimentation


Explanation:
"slurry" a pour équivqlent "boues". Cela nous donne "boues humides" pour "wet slurry", mais cette solution me semble redondante, car la "boue" est foncièrement "humide". Pour "ore feed", j'ai trouvé "matière d'alimentation". C'est pourquoi j'ai opté pour "boues d'alimentation".
