A correct version of the original Figure 1.
In addition, in Table 1, the amount of Na2O in Feed, Lead concentrate, Zinc concentrate and Tailing is incorrect. The correct values appear in Table 1 below.

In the Results and discussion section,
“TXRD and mineralogical studies showed that pyrite and sphalerite are the major sulphide minerals and galena is the minor sulphide mineral. Also, dolomite, barite and quartz are the major gangue minerals The oxidation rate of lead and zinc was 11 and 5 percent respectively.”

“Transmitted (up) and reflected (down) microscopic images of the run of mine ore cross-section are shown in Fig. 3. Crystals of sphalerite, galena, and pyrite as sulphide minerals and dolomite as the main gangue mineral can be seen in Fig. 3.”
