Zinc-Lead Sulfide Ore Concentrate
A concentrated ore primarily containing zinc sulfide (sphalerite) with significant lead content from galena inclusions. Classified under HTS 2608.00.00.20 for the lead content portion of zinc ores and concentrates as per statistical reporting requirements. The lead assay determines the quantity reported here.
Mississippi Valley Type Zinc-Lead Ore
Carbonate-hosted sedimentary ore from MVT deposits containing sphalerite with 5-15% lead sulfide. The lead content is statistically reported under HTS 2608.00.00.20 within zinc ores and concentrates. Typical of North American mining regions like Missouri and Kansas.
Flotation Concentrate from Zinc-Lead Mine
Flotation-processed concentrate from polymetallic zinc-lead deposits, grading 40-50% zinc with 8-12% lead. HTS 2608.00.00.20 captures the lead content statistically from these zinc concentrates. Common product from operations like Red Dog Mine.
Kipushi-Type High-Grade Zinc-Lead Concentrate
High-grade massive sulfide concentrate from Kipushi-style deposits, with 55% zinc and substantial lead. Lead content reported under HTS 2608.00.00.20 as part of zinc ores/concentrates statistical breakdown. Sourced from African copperbelt regions.
Broken Zinc-Lead Ore from Open Pit
Crushed ore from open-pit polymetallic mines containing sphalerite and galena, prior to milling. The lead fraction within zinc ore matrix reported statistically via HTS 2608.00.00.20. Represents run-of-mine material.
