The Broken Hill mine is primarily known for its deposits of lead, zinc, and silver.

The major ore minerals mined there are:

* Galena (PbS): The primary source of lead.

* Sphalerite (ZnS): The primary source of zinc.

* Argentite (Ag₂S): A significant source of silver.

It's worth noting that Broken Hill also produces smaller amounts of other metals, including copper and cadmium.
