Galena

Shiny grey cubes of galena. The deep limestone has a lot of it.

Where to find it#

Galena is lead ore. A fair few of the rich seams up on the high ground are galena, about one seam in 6, but most of it is underground, in two places.

Most of it is in the limestone under the coal, from level 4 down to level 7, and it's best on levels 5 to 7. That limestone is under most of the map away from the granite, so you don't have to go far from camp to look. The galena follows thin cracks in the rock that run in lines, so once you find some it's worth prospecting along it to see where it goes.

There's also some in the quartz veins along the faults, but farther from the granite than the copper is, more than about 45 m out. That kind you can find on every level.

How much you get#

You get 1 galena per cell in the limestone, and 1 to 3 per cell in a vein.

Which level#

You can find it on levels 1 to 10, and level 7 has the most.

Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6
Level 7
Level 8
Level 9
Level 10

This is how much each level has across the whole map, compared to the best one.

What it's for#

  • Nothing uses galena yet, but it's worth hanging on to.
