Spanish term

demasía

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
This term appears in the following sentence, talking about mining reserves:

"La causa de solicitar solamente el levantamiento de las tres R.E. indicadas, y sus demasías, es consecuencia del interés de XXXXXX en las áreas que están cubiertas por las mismas"

In addition, I found a relevant definition of the term (in the RAE):

- Terreno franco, pero no adecuado para libre concesión por su insignificancia o irregularidad, comprendido entre dos o más minas, a las cuales se debe adjudicar como complemento, por derecho preferente.

Any ideas what this could be in English?

Thanks!

agree MarinaM : There is no one-to-one equivalent. In mining "surplus" has a different meaning.

Thank you, Richard - Mike :)
agree Robert Copeland : I had started to put excess, but it sounded more technical. I think it is just a surplus!
