Spanish term or phrase: amparaba, protegía
I thought that "amparaba" should be translated here as "included" but now I have a revised version of the text and in addition to "amparaba," the author has used "protegía". Is he just being "flowery" or is there some point being made about "sheltering"? Do I need to convey that, and if so, how is it done in mining jargon?

La Sociedad Minera de X amparaba los siguientes yacimientos: Progreso, ... Dios nos Guíe. La mina de San Rafael, protegía a la del mismo nombre, además de los yacimientos Rosario ... Morelos. La Compañía Nacional Minera San Agustín a San Silverio, ... La Compañía Queretana, La Potosina, Ánimas y Perdón. A excepción de El Pilar, Dolores y Guadalupana que eran de tiro (entrada) diagonal, las demás lo tenían vertical.
