Galena Mining. Galena is a gray, cubic, shiny, dense mineral most commonly associated with lead. It is one of the earliest minerals used by humans, and one of the most abundant sulfide minerals on the Earth. Galena is still mined today in large quantities, not only for lead, but also for silver. Due to its health risk, lead is no longer used in
Galena, Kansas Mural by Carol Highsmith. In the rocky hills and gravel-filled valleys of southeast Kansas is the small town of Galena, born of rugged characters when lead was discovered in 1877. Before this time, the land was only sparsely settled by hunters and farmers earning meager livings from the rocky and sterile soil.
The 60% owned Galena Complex is located in Idaho’s prolific Silver Valley, a district famous for producing silver, lead, zinc and copper from such well-known operations as the Bunker Hill, Sunshine and Lucky Friday mines.
In 1876 among the rocky hills and gravel-filled valleys of southeast Kansas, a chance discovery was made that gave birth to Galena – the oldest mining town in Kansas. Named after the natural mineral form of the lead ore
During the life of the district, more than 4,000 mines produced 23 million tons of zinc concentrates and 4 million tons of lead concentrates. The Kansas part of the Tri-State district produced more than 2.9 million tons of zinc, with an estimated value of $436 million, and 650,000 tons of lead worth nearly $91 million.
The Abra mine is a 60:40 joint venture between Galena Mining Limited (Galena) (ASX: G1A) and the leading producer of lead in Japan, Toho Zinc Co., Ltd. (Toho) (TSE: 5707).

Galena completed an outstanding feasibility study in July 2019 for development of a mine and processing facility with a 16-year life producing a high-value, high grade lead-silver concentrate. Galena has a defined vision to develop Abra as a high-grade, high margin mining operation.
It has a distinct silver color and a bright metallic luster. Galena tarnishes to a dull gray. Because lead is a primary element in galena, the mineral has a high specific gravity (7.4 to 7.6) that is immediately noticed when picking up even small pieces. Galena is soft with a Mohs hardness of 2.5+ and produces a gray to black streak.

The 60% owned Galena Complex is located in Idaho’s prolific Silver Valley, a district famous for producing silver, lead, zinc and copper from such well-known operations as the Bunker Hill, Sunshine and Lucky Friday mines. A joint venture with Eric Sprott was announced in late 2019 for 40% interest of the property.

Snapshot. The Galena Complex consists of the Galena mine, the Galena processing plant, the Osburn tailings impoundment, the idle Coeur mine and Coeur processing plant (on care and maintenance) and the Caladay exploration property. The Galena Shaft Repair project is expected to recommence in Q3-2024. In Q4-2023, the Galena Complex undertook some
The U.S. Bureau of Mines investigated an alternative process to smelting for the production of lead metal. The process eliminates sulfur dioxide generation and minimizes particulate
1 · Galena is located in an area known as the Tri-State Mining District; so named because of zinc and lead mining that occurred until the 1960’s-1970’s in this region of eastern Missouri, southeastern Kansas, and northeastern Oklahoma.
Being fully funded for the Abra mine build will enable the JV to access the deeper copper/gold targets identified adjacent and below the proven lead/silver mineralisation. The company is also strategically well placed with 100% ownership of the adjacent 500km2 Jillawarra Project, which presents many strong base metal targets directly along strike
