Rhodesia Broken Hill
A lead-zinc-silver mine opened in 1906. Closure about 1989. Produced about a quarter-million tons of ore per year.
The stratabound Zn-Pb ore comprises massive, breccia and replacement sulphides within carbonate rocks marking the transition from Lower Roan to Upper Roan.
Located 1 km south-west of the town centre. Known to be one of the 10 worst polluted places in the world due mostly to heavy metal tailings entering the water supply.
