As in most lead-zinc flotation operations, lead is separated first, followed by the zinc flotation stage. Due to the nature of the ore, lead minerals are frequently released from their gangue in coarse sizes, while zinc minerals need comparatively more grinding to produce the appropriate degree of liberation from accompanying gangue minerals.
