Lead is not an ore. Lead is a metal which is obtained by refining lead ore (or which may be a byproduct of the refinement of other metals).
the mineral with the ore of lead is galena
the origin of lead ore is contact metamorphic origin
Galena is another name for lead ore.
Lead ore is a mineral containing lead in the form of galena (lead sulfide). It is a primary source of lead and is commonly mined for industrial use such as in the production of lead-acid batteries and other lead-based products. Lead ore may also contain other valuable minerals such as silver and zinc.
Iron ore (haematite) and lead ore (galena) are both both obtained through mining and quarrying.
Cerussite is an important ore of Lead.
Graphite is the main ore of pencil lead.
The ore galena (lead II sulfide) is the major source of lead.
Galena
Lead is typically extracted from its ore through a process called smelting. The ore, usually galena (lead sulfide), is heated with a reducing agent, such as charcoal, in a furnace. The lead is then separated from the impurities and collected as a molten metal.
Lead ore is a rock containing lead minerals typically galena (lead sulfide) or anglesite (lead sulfate). It is commonly mined for its lead content, which is used in various applications such as batteries, ammunition, and construction materials. Lead ore can also contain other metals like silver, zinc, and copper.
Lead is an element, and an elemental mineral.
