vida útil de la futura operación.

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Geology
Esta es una traducción que describe el proceso de la minería en chile, esta frase la traduje como: lifetime of the future operation. no sé si está bien.

texto original: Los resultados de las características del yacimiento, el tipo de mineral y la ley constituyen la primera informacion fundamental para el diseño de una futura explotación, ya que permiten estimar el comportamiento geotécnico y geometalúrgico, y el posible rendimiento económico del mineral. Esta información es analizada por los ingenieros de minas, quienes mediante metodologías especializadas determinan el sistema de explotación, realizan un diseño preliminar de la mina e instalaciones de planta y calculan las expectativas económicas y la vida útil de la futura operación.

mi intento: (10) The results of the deposit characteristic, the kind of mineral and the ore grade
constitutes the first main information to the future exploitation design, since they permit to make an estimation of the geotechnical and geometallurgical behavior, and the possible financial yield of the ore.
This information is analyzed by the mining engineers, who through specialized methodologies determine the exploitation system, carry out a preliminary design of the mine and plant installation; besides, they calculate financial expectations and the lifetime of the future operation.

At the end of the mine’s **useful life** all that will remain is a pit brimming with hazardous mine tailings covered over with a thin layer of topsoil which will need to be monitored for centuries after closure, to ensure that nothing infiltrates the water-table and watershed.
