Usually lead is found in conjunction with other metals such as silver and zinc Lead materials are mined as a by product of these other more valuable metals Extracting the lead materials from the ore is a multi step process First the lead ore is ground into small particles that are less than 0 1mm giving the ore a texture similar to table salt
The ore has first to be separated from clays and other silicates gangue after which the lead ore and the zinc ore are separated The process used is froth flotation a succession of stages each delivering a greater concentration of the lead ore The ore containing gangue which typically contains 3 8 lead is ground with water to a

Lead Production Statistics Lead ores are mined at a rate close to 5 million tonnes a year and the world market for refined lead stands at about US 15 billion While it has a high economic value lead is relatively economical to produce As with all metals there are two main production routes
The Objective of mine sampling is to determine the grade of the ore exposed in a mine and thereby lead to an estimation of the assay value and tonnage of the ore body The estimation of the tonnage and assay value of an ore deposit is an attempt to put into exact figures the result of inexact work

The North of England Lead Mining Museum also known as Killhope is an industrial museum near the village of Cowshill County Durham England The museum stands on the site of the former Park Level Mine which is being restored to show the workings of a 19th century lead mine
· Metallurgy of Lead Ores 1 Galena PbS 2 Cerrusite PbCO 3 3 Anglesite PbSO 4 4 Lead ochre PbO Extraction Lead is mainly extracted from the sulphide ore galena Galena contains lead sulphide and small quantities of silver 1 Concentration The ore is concentrated by froth floatation process
The majority of the deposits are mixtures of minerals hence lead ore is usually obtained as a byproduct of other metal mining such as zinc silver or copper In fact lead ore is a main source of silver and contributes substantially towards the world s total output The most common lead ore is galena PbS which contains 86 6 lead
Galena or lead sulfide the world s major source of lead ore occurs worldwide and it is mined in many countries including the United States Australia and China Lead ore comes from underground mining operations where the lead ore seams are blasted out of the ground and transported to

The Société des mines et fonderies de Pontgibaud Pontgibaud Mine Foundry Company was a French silver and lead mining and smelting company based in Pontgibaud Puy de Dôme It mined lead silver ore deposits that had been exploited since Roman times Later it opened another factory in Couëron in the Loire estuary and then closed down the Pontgibaud mines and foundry
Electrolytic Gold Extraction Experiment Ore from Colorado number A This ore is a rotten granite containing a very small amount of sulphide no telluride a little copper and considerable iron as oxide The gold is in a very fine state of division
Galena also was a major mineral of the zinc lead mines of the tri state district around Joplin in southwestern Missouri and the adjoining areas of Kansas and Oklahoma Galena is also an important ore mineral in the silver mining regions of Colorado Idaho Utah and Montana
The early exploitation involved the digging of shallow shafts along the vein The first mill to process the Grassington lead ore was the Low Mill built in 1605 This lies outside the area of the monument at Brow Well on the banks of the River Wharfe some 5km to the south
The life cycle of mining begins with exploration continues through production and ends with closure and postmining land use New technologies can benefit the mining industry and consumers in all stages of this life cycle This report does not include downstream processing such as smelting of
