Base metal

Zinc

Sphalerite concentrate recovered alongside galena from the same vein systems.

Sphalerite, tetrahedral with resinous lustre ZnS

Overview

Zinc occurs with lead throughout the Benue trough, and our flotation circuits are configured to produce two separate saleable concentrates rather than a single bulk product that smelters penalise.

Separating the two streams properly is the difference between a concentrate a smelter bids for and one they merely accept.

Applications

  • Galvanising steel against corrosion
  • Brass and die-casting alloys
  • Zinc oxide for rubber and pharmaceuticals
  • Agricultural micronutrients
