The proven and probable ore reserves at the Lucky Friday silver-lead-zinc project are estimated to be 5.61 million tons (Mt), grading 14.4oz/ton of silver, 9.1% lead, and 4.0% zinc. It is estimated to contain 81 million ounces (Moz) of silver, 510,800t of lead and 225,260t of zinc, as of December 2018.
Lead and zinc keep humanity powered and sheltered, yet a comprehensive understanding of Pb-Zn resources in known mineral deposits has been lacking, leading to uncertainty over when we might expect the supply of these metals to face potential constraints. Addressing this, we compile an extensive database of the world's known Pb …
Ore is still being extracted from Broken Hill, which has been the largest producer of lead-zinc-silver in Australia. The wealth generated by mining the Broken Hill ore allowed The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited to prosper and, although it no longer has an interest in the deposit, its successor, BHP Billiton has become one of …
Lead and zinc ores often contain small amounts of silver, and silver can be extracted from these ores during the lead and zinc refining process. Some examples of silver-lead-zinc deposits include …
