AFGHANISTAN · POLYMETALLIC ROM
Afghan Zinc-Lead Ore
High-grade zinc–lead ROM represented by three laboratory-tested samples, with reported zinc up to 34.82%, lead up to 35.85%, and combined Zn + Pb content up to 66.55%. The documented portfolio includes zinc-dominant, lead-dominant, and closely balanced material for buyer-led metallurgical evaluation and commercial lot qualification.

One Ore System
Two Essential Metals
Lead and zinc frequently occur together in polymetallic mineral systems. Their association can support the production of separate lead and zinc concentrates or, where the processing route allows, a combined concentrate.
Crushing, grinding and flotation are evaluated around the actual mineralogy of each lot. Liberation size, gangue composition and accessory elements determine the flowsheet—not grade alone.
Substantial contained-metal potential per tonne of ROM.
Zinc-rich and lead-rich profiles for different processing priorities.
Meaningful dual-concentrate potential in balanced material.
Scope for buyer-specific evaluation and compatible-lot blending.
