Lead Ore
upto 65% available in lumps
Lead ore of Saudi origin is a high-grade mineral resource, available in lumps with a lead content of up to 69%. This ore primarily consists of galena (PbS), the most abundant and economically significant lead-bearing mineral, which can contain up to 86.6% lead by weight. Other less common types of lead ores include cerussite (PbCO3) and anglesite (PbSO4). The high purity of Saudi lead ore makes it a valuable resource for various industrial applications, leveraging lead’s properties such as malleability, corrosion resistance, and ease of extraction—traits that have made lead a critical material for thousands of years.
