Zinc processing Zinc processing Ores Zinc ores are widely distributed throughout the world although more than 40 percent of the world''s output originates in North America and Australia The common zinccontaining minerals are the zinc sulfide known as zinc blende or sphalerite ZnS a ferrous form of zinc blende known as marmatite ZnFeS and a zinc carbonate known as calamine or smithsonite ZnCO3
