Introduction
This report contains a global compilation of the mineral resource data for sediment-hosted lead-
zinc (SH Pb-Zn) deposits. Sediment-hosted lead-zinc deposits are historically the most significant
sources of lead and zinc, and are mined throughout the world. The most important SH Pb-Zn deposits
are hosted in clastic-dominated sedimentary rock sequences (CD Pb-Zn) that are traditionally called
sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits, and those in carbonate-dominated sequences that are known
as Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) Pb-Zn deposits. In this report, we do not include sandstone-Pb,
sandstone-hosted Pb, or Pb-Zn vein districts such as those in Freiberg, Germany, or Coeur d’Alene,
Idaho, because these deposits probably represent different deposit types (Leach and others, 2005). We
do not include fracture-controlled deposits in which fluorite is dominant and barite typically abundant
(for example, Central Kentucky; Hansonburg, N. Mex.) or the stratabound fluorite-rich, but also lead-
and zinc-bearing deposits, such as those in southern Illinois, which are considered a genetic variant of
carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposits (Leach and Sangster, 1993).
This report updates the Pb, Zn, copper (Cu), and silver (Ag) grade and tonnage data in Leach and
others (2005), which itself was based on efforts in the Canadian Geological Survey World Minerals
Geoscience Database Project (contributions of D.F. Sangster to Sinclair and others, 1999). New
geological or geochronological data, classifications of the tectonic environment in which the deposits
formed, and key references to the geology of the deposits are presented in our report. Data for 121 CD
deposits, 113 MVT deposits, and 6 unclassified deposits that were previously classified as either
SEDEX or MVT in the Leach and others (2005) compilation, are given in appendix table A1. In some
cases, mineral resource data were available only for total district resources, but not for individual mines
within the district. For these districts, the resource data are presented in appendix table A2. In addition,
numerous figures (appendix figures B1–B9) displaying important grade-tonnage and geologic features
are included.
These mineral deposit resource data are important for exploration targeting and mineral resource
assessments. There is significant variability in the resource data for these deposit types, and ore controls
vary from one region to another. Therefore, grade-tonnage estimations are best evaluated as subsets of

2
the data in appendix table A1 where local mineralization styles and ore controls characterize the region
being evaluated for grade-tonnage relations. Furthermore, consideration should also be given to the
tendency for MVT resources to occur in large mineralized regions.
Clastic-Dominated and Mississippi Valley-Type Lead-Zinc Deposits
Classifications of the SH Pb-Zn ores in Leach and others (2005) were organized around
traditional subgroups—MVT and SEDEX deposits—and were further subdivided based on
classifications in the literature. A fundamental concern with the genetic-model-based classification of
“SEDEX” is that it imparts an inherent “exhalative” genetic component to deposits. Most deposits
classified as SEDEX lack unequivocal evidence of an exhalite in the ore or alteration component.
Consequently, the presence of laminated sulfides parallel to bedding is commonly accepted to be
permissive evidence for exhalative ore. However, some deposits traditionally classified as SEDEX did
not form from sulfide exhalites. In this report, we avoid process-related, interpretive- and model-driven
features to classify the deposits. Deposits are instead characterized by the nature of the sedimentary
sequences and their interpreted tectonic environment within which the ores formed. This approach uses
the relation that ores classified as SEDEX in Leach and others (2005) are hosted in clastic-dominated
sedimentary rock sequences in mainly passive margin, continental rifts and sag basins. We use the term
“clastic-dominated lead-zinc” (CD Pb-Zn) for these deposits and avoid genetic and temporal (for
example, syngenetic, diagenetic, syn-diagenetic) attributes to the deposits. The ores can be hosted in
shale, sandstone, siltstone, mixed clastic units, or as carbonate replacement ores within a clastic
dominated sedimentary rock sequence. The CD deposits may be further subdivided based upon specific
tectonic or geologic settings in which the deposit formed, which include passive margins (PM),
continental rifts (RF), continental sag basins (CS), and back-arc basins (BA). An alternative
classification of BHT (Broken Hill-type) is listed for some deposits, a subtype with unique
characteristics similar to the Broken Hill, Australia, deposit (Leach and others, 2005).
We retain the traditional term of MVT Pb-Zn for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits in carbonate-
dominated platform sequences because this terminology does not include a genetic component.
Although the traditional use of the term MVT does imply a broad time component of simply being
epigenetic with respect to its host rocks, we recognize that some MVT ores may have a syngenetic,
diagenetic, or burial metamorphic temporal component to deposit or ore district formation. The most
important characteristic of MVT deposits is their location, mainly hosted in dolostone and limestone in
platform carbonate sequences and typically located at flanks of basins, orogenic forelands, or foreland
thrust belts inboard of the clastic rock-dominated passive margin sequences. They have no spatial or
temporal relations to igneous processes, which sets them apart from skarn or other magmatic Pb-Zn
ores.
Many subtypes or alternative classifications have been applied to MVT deposits since their
inception as a distinct ore type by Bastin (1939). These alternative classifications reflect geographic
and/or specific geological features that some workers believe set them apart as unique (for example,
Appalachian-, Alpine-, Reocin-, Irish-, and Viburnum Trend-types). However, we do not consider these
alternative classifications or subtypes to be sufficiently distinct to warrant using them in this report.
Limitations of the Data Compilation
Criteria used to classify the deposits and districts as MVT versus CD in appendixes A and B
were based on the classifications assigned to the deposits in the literature and the opinions of the authors

3
that relied on personal observations of the deposits or, in many cases, on descriptions of the geological
setting and lithology of the ore-hosting sedimentary rock sequences. Six deposits are included in
appendix A as “Unclassified” because the descriptions of the tectonic setting and host rock sequences
were insufficient to allow confident discrimination between the two major types of Pb-Zn deposits.
The resource information for the deposits is limited to publicly accessible resource information
from sources cited in appendix tables A1 and A2. Some deposits and districts are not presented in the
compilation (for example, Central Missouri and Northern Arkansas districts, U.S.A.), because publicly
accessible resource information was not available for a variety of reasons. It should be noted that many
factors (for example, metal prices, location, corporate policies, national politics, and so forth) influence
the determination of the resource data in appendix tables A1 and A2. Furthermore, publicly available
data (on which table A1 is based) are not necessarily the most recent. Therefore, the data in table A1,
although considered to be the best currently available, do not necessarily reflect the true nature of
mineralization in the ground.
Care must be taken with the usage of this data compilation because there are limitations to the
data. Some resource data are old and have not been recently updated. Different deposits listed will be
characterized by different metal cut-off grades in their definition of ore tonnages. Some deposits are still
in the exploration phase and in the future are likely to have more accurate mineral resource estimates.
Many of the deposits do not have absolute mineralization ages listed, because of the difficulty of
directly dating the ore minerals. Numerous papers have been published presenting dates of ore
deposition, and careful consideration went into determining if the methods shown accurately reflect the
age of ore formation, or something else. Dates deemed unreliable by the authors of this report have been
excluded from this data compilation. Some deposits also have ambiguous or conflicting classifications
reported in the literature. Caution was exercised in determining the correct deposit-type classification.
Because this is a global compilation, aspects such as location, metal prices at the time of resource
estimation, and regional politics all play roles in the resource estimates. Lastly, reporting of resource
estimates is not as strictly controlled in some countries relative to others; therefore, overestimation of
metal tonnages may characterize some deposits hosted in certain countries.
Data Fields
The attributes within the tables are defined below.
District and Deposit
The most commonly used names are provided in appendix table A1. Mississippi Valley-type
deposits are characteristically distributed throughout larger districts. Many of these districts do not have
resources defined for individual deposits; therefore, these are summarized in appendix table A2.
Location
The country and geographic location (latitude-longitude) for each deposit is listed. Latitude and
longitude coordinates are provided in decimal format that were calculated using degrees, minutes, and
seconds. Southern latitudes and western longitudes are listed as negative values.
Classification
Every deposit is identified as CD, MVT, or UN (unclassified). Alternative classifications (Alt.
Class.) are supplied for select deposits as BHT (Broken Hill-type), carbonate-hosted/replacement, or sh-

4
(shale) or cc- (coarse clastic) hosted. Also listed in the last three columns are the deposit-type
classifications as cataloged in Leach and others (2005).
Tectonic Setting
When known, the tectonic settings (Tect. Setting) are listed as PM (passive margin), UN
(unclassified), BA (back arc basin), CS (continental sag), or RF (rift).
Grades and Tonnage
The data listed include average grades and tonnage. If multiple cut-off grades were provided, our
reported values are based on the lowest cut-off grade. Lead, zinc, and copper grades are shown as
percentages. Silver and some other listed commodities are shown as grams per tonne (g/t). Deposit size
and amount of metal are listed as Mt (million metric tonnes).
Age Determinations
Mineralization ages are all listed as Ma (million years ago). The method of age determination is
listed. Host rock ages are listed using the geologic time scale (Walker and Geissman, 2009).
Mineralization ages of CD deposits are typically coeval with host rock age.
