Zinc ores are minerals and rocks containing sufficient zinc in the amount efficient for their profitable processing. The table includes the most important minerals containing zinc. More than 99% of zinc deposits found in the earth's crust occur in the form of sphalerite, or zinc blende, which is the main ore for zinc. According to the method of formation, zinc blende is a typical vein mineral that falls out of hot solutions in connection with the last stages of solidification of granite or granodiorite intrusion. The most common zinc ores are formed this way.
Because of the close geochemical relationship between zinc and lead, the formation of zinc blende usually goes along with the allocation of lead luster; therefore, the vast majority of zinc ores are lead-zinc ores; they are often included in polymetallic ores. Exploration of a large number of such deposits makes it possible to notice their industrially important zonal structure, while the zone of maximum enrichment in zinc occupies an intermediate position between the deeper zone of copper (pyrite) and the zone of lead that is closer to the surface. The proximity of zinc blende to lead luster is such that both minerals are often in close mutual germination. In addition to the lead luster, argentite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, less often pyrrhotite are frequent companions of zinc blende.
This is a list of non-ferrous materials offers, related to purchasing and sale of zinc ore, zinc concentrate, lead ore, chrоme and manganese ores.
The category might be of interest to mining companies from all around the world as a marketplace for their products. It also provides market prices for zinc ore, zinc scrap, zinc concentrate and other non-ferrous materials, so manufacturer is free to view current price quotes and create competitive prices. On the other side, buyers get full product information: the country of origin, delivery terms, zinc concentrate specifications, zinc market price, zinc scrap price per kg etc., helping to choose proposal, that meets his requirements about the product.
Among the offers, zinc ore sellers from Russia, Peru, Spain, Poland, Iran, Mexici, Marokko and Belgium could be found. Still, zinc ore and other non-ferrous materials are needed to China, USA, Canada and other countries. In their offers traders request product specifications: fraction, purity and variety of delivery terms (CIF, FOB), product with or without certificate.
The directory might be of use if you are looking for a marketplace to sell zinc ore, lead ore, chrome and manganese and other non-ferrous materials and while setting a competitive price for your product.
