Lead bearing ore is a valuable mineral resource that has been mined and used for centuries. It is composed of minerals that contain lead, such as galena and cerussite. Lead is a versatile metal with a wide range of applications, including in batteries, ammunition, and construction.
The global market for lead is significant, with an estimated value of over $30 billion in 2021. According to the International Lead and Zinc Study Group, the global demand for lead is expected to grow by 2.5% annually over the next five years. China is the world's largest producer of lead, accounting for over 50% of global production. Other major producers include Australia, the United States, and Peru.

A mining company used advanced geophysical techniques to explore for lead bearing ore in a remote area. The techniques identified a promising deposit, which was subsequently mined and yielded significant profits.
A lead ore processing plant invested in a new flotation system to improve ore recovery. The system increased the lead content of the ore by 5%, resulting in increased revenue for the plant.
