History, Deposits, and Production of Zinc
Mar 30, 2020· Rock with these high zinc contents is known as ore. The ore contains zinc mostly in the form of sphalerite, i.e., as so-called zinc blende (ZnS), and along with zinc scrap, is the most important raw material for zinc production. Zinc ore is often mined in open pits.
