intersections d'épontes inférieures
Explanation:
La pente servira d’accès d’entrée et de transport.

Les positions pour les sites de forage d’exploration souterraine peuvent être développées à partir des pentes pour cibler la ressource présumée.

Cela permet également l’accès à certaines intersections irrégulières d’épontes inférieures.


I translated "footwall intersections" as "intersections d'épontes inférieures", the opposite of a footwall being called a "hanging wall" (éponte supérieure). "Éponte" refers to a vein wall.
