Talk:Metal mining in Wales

Latest comment: 6 years ago by InternetArchiveBot in topic External links modified (January 2018)

Lead mining dates back to at least Roman times and continued until well into the 20th century. Galena is found commonly in northeast Wales. The Northeast Wales Orefield was by far the most important source of lead and zinc in Wales and second in national importance only to the North Pennine Orefield. Galena is present in steeply dipping fissure veins and in pipes and is in Mississippi Valley-type lead-zinc-fluorite and copper-dolomite associations. The mineralisation occurs in the upper parts of the Loggerheads and Cefn Mawr Formations of the Carboniferous Limestone.

Might fit better here than into Lead article, where it was removed from.--Stone (talk) 19:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
