colpas

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Geology
Esta es una traducción que describe el proceso de la minería en chile, me gustaría saber como se dice "colpas " en ingles

contexto: La tronadura primaria consiste en separar la roca del macizo rocoso ya sea en minas a rajo abierto o subterráneas, mientras que la Tronadura secundaria se realiza sobre fragmentos de gran tamaño (colpas) ya separados del macizo, de manera de lograr su reducción al tamaño adecuado para ser catgadas y transportadas a la planta.
