Galena from Nigeria: lead concentrate with a silver bonus
Galena is lead sulphide, the main lead ore, and in Nigeria it runs through the lead-zinc belt of the Benue Trough. Much of it carries silver, which smelters pay for. It is also dangerous to process carelessly: in 2010, lead poisoning from gold-and-lead ore processing in Zamfara killed hundreds of children. Responsible buyers ask how their ore was handled.
