Base metal

Lead

Galena concentrate from Nigeria's central sulphide corridor, low in impurities.

Galena, cubic cleavage and metallic lustre PbS

Overview

Lead is mined as galena from the vein systems of the Abakaliki–Benue sulphide corridor, usually in association with zinc. Ore is crushed, milled and floated to a concentrate on site.

Handling lead responsibly is a condition of our licence to operate: site workers are on scheduled blood-lead monitoring, and concentrate is moved in sealed, lined containers from plant to port.
