The Southeast Missouri Lead District, commonly called the Lead Belt, is a lead mining district in the southeastern part of Missouri. Counties in the Lead Belt include Saint Francois, Crawford, Dent, Iron, Madison, Reynolds, and Washington. Philip Francois Renault of France led a large exploratory mission in 1719 and started mining operations in Old Mines and Mine La Motte in 1720. The town of Sainte Genevieve was founded as a river port for transportation of lead out of the area. Moses Austin started large-scale mining and smelting at Potosi, originally known as Mine a Breton, and founded Herculaneum as his shipping point on the Mississippi. This lead was originally used as a roofing material. Bonne Terre has large subterranean mines, now used commercially for recreational scuba diving.

  • Les Mines de plomb du sud du Missouri, situées dans les montagnes Ozark, qui datent du tout début de la colonisation française, au XVIIIe siècle, forment la plus grande région d'extraction de plomb des États-Unis depuis trois siècles, appelée aussi « ceinture de plomb » (Lead Belt). L'ancienne ceinture était centrée sur Park Hills et Desloge dans le Missouri, tandis que la nouvelle ceinture de plomb est proche de Viburnum, toujours dans le Missouri. (fr)

  • Свинцо́во-ци́нковые месторожде́ния Миссиси́пской доли́ны — крупное скопление свинцовых и цинковых руд, расположенное в бассейне рек Миссисипи-Миссури, США. Добыча свинцовых руд была начата в 1720 году, цинковых в 1870 году. Содержание металлов в рудной породе составляет порядка 1-3 %. Годовая добыча составляет порядка 200 тыс. тонн цинка и 400 тыс. тонн свинца. Главные рудные минералы — сфалерит и галенит, второстепенные — пирит, марказит, барит, кварц и другие. Месторождения главным образом сосредоточены вокруг 4 районов: (ru)
