Lead and zinc production also has origins in Tennessee's early history. Lead is found in East and Middle Tennessee, commonly in limestones and dolomites, and usually in association with zinc. The primary modern uses of lead are for storage batteries, gasoline additives, paint pigments, ammunition, and various alloys.

The Lead is then cooled in stages which cause the lighter impurities (dross) to rise to the surface where they can be removed. The molten Lead bullion is then refined by additional smelting with air being passed over the Lead to form a slag layer containing any remaining impurities and producing 99.9% pure Lead.

In 2008, the worldwide production of lead exceeded eight million tonnes. The largest producers of mined lead are China, Australia, and the USA, whereas the largest producers of recycled lead are the USA, China, and Germany. China alone accounts for about 60 percent of all lead production. The most economically important lead ore is called galena.

Lead-bearing ore is mined from underground or open pit mines. After extraction, the ore is processed by crushing, screening and milling. Domestic lead mine production for 1991 totaled 480,000 megagrams (530,000 tons) of lead in ore concentrates, a decrease of some 15,000 megagrams (16,500 tons) from 1990 production.

Primary lead is mined, separated from ore, and refined into various products, whereas secondary lead is recovered from used objects - such as used lead-acid batteries - for reuse in other products. Smelting is a key process in lead product production, and involves heating lead ore or recovered lead with chemical reducing agents.

Lead is a naturally occurring metal used in the production of fuels, paints, ceramic products, batteries, solder, and a variety of consumer products. The use of leaded gasoline and lead-based paint was eliminated or restricted in the United States beginning in the 1970s, resulting in substantial reductions in exposure to lead.

The remaining mixture is a molten copper sulfide referred to as matte. The next step in the refining process is to oxidize liquid matte in order to remove iron to burn off sulfide content as sulfur dioxide. The result is 97-99%, blister copper. The term blister copper comes from the bubbles produced by sulfur dioxide on the surface of the copper.
