KC-1a Zinc-Lead-Tin-Copper-Silver Ore
Click to print PDF version of original certificate.
KC-1a was prepared from material hand-picked at Kidd Creek Ltd. (now a
division of Falconbridge Ltd.) in Timmins, Ontario. The ore is from a zone of
massive sphalerite-pyrite containing native silver and galena. KC-1a is
intended to replace KC-1, the stock of which is exhausted. It serves to
complement the certified base metal ore MP-1a which contains lower zinc
and silver but higher lead, copper, and tin values.
