LENINOGORSK LEAI) PLANT
LENINOGORSK, USSR
The Leninogorsk Lead Plant is :located at the site of the
Ridder lead and zinc deposits in northeastern Kazakhstan, approxi-
mately 150 miles east of Semipalatinsk. It is reportedly integrated
with the Ust Kamenogorsk Lead and Zinc combine, approximately
60 rail miles to the southwest, and the Glubokoye Copper and Lead
Works "Irtysh", approximately 80 rail miles to the west. There is
no photographic evidence of recent plant expansion. The lead-zinc
ore is concentrated at an ore dressing; plant at the Ridder mine,
then transported by narrow-gauge railroad to the Lead Plant.
The Lead Plant has facilities for fine-grinding and screening of the
concentrates, sintering, blast furnace smelting, and fire refining.
The fire-refined lead reportedly is cast into bar shapes and sent
to Ust Kamenogorsk for further processing. Zinc is derived as
a by-product, along with gold, silver, and-ofhor precious metals.
Major components of the Leninogorsk Lead Plant are
identified on the following page and annotated on the aerial and ground
photographs, Figure 1. The location of the Lead Plant in relation to
the Ridder mine and the ore dressing plant is shown on Figure 2.
