English term or phrase: cut-over or cutover grade
• Relaxation of previous chemistry ‘cut-off’ and ‘cut-over’ restraints as a result of the Enhancement Study

We are talking about ore grade values. I usually use "teneur limite" for cut-off grade is but it is the first time I come across cut-over grade. I have found an explanation on a website (below), but I still don't know what is the accepted translation in French.

Explanation :
Mining will be progressed at an increased rate compared to processing; approximately 5 Mt of ore is expected to be mined and 4 Mt of ore will be processed annually. Operating at an increased mining rate allows the cut-off grade for feed to the Plant (referred to as “cutover” grade) to be increased in the early years of the schedule. country, dialects, etc.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think the documents you sent confirm the discussion, that is cut off is teneur de coupure and cut over must correspond to teneur limite so I change the entry accordingly. Regards, Valerie
