Lead/Zinc. The two primary minerals containing lead and zinc are galena (PbS) and sphalerite (ZnS). These minerals are often found together alongside other sulphide minerals including copper, iron, arsenic, silver and small quantities of gold. Lead and zinc operations process ore through comminution, beneficiation and possible downstream processes.
