The Spanish Wikipedia disagrees with our entry — es.wiki claims that this term means “casting” (a certain manufacturing process), while our entry claims it means “smelter, smelting furnace” — but more to the point, the term doesn't seem to be in actual use, in either sense! —Ruakh_TALK 16:43, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

In those cites, it's clearly a proper noun, or part of one, so not really relevant. (In the first one it's part of the name of a school founded by an ex-miner; in the latter two it's the name of a coal preparation plant, or something along those lines, at the Cobriza Mine. Oddly, I can't find much confirmatory evidence of either one, but that doesn't really matter.) —Ruakh_TALK 05:51, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
