Abstract: The global lead and zinc resources are rich and relatively dispersed.The world’s major lead and zinc companies have grasped the industry competitiveness and discourse power through the relatively centralized resource layout.This paper focuses on the lead and zinc resources of the world’s major lead and zinc companies by using the international authoritative database and the annual reports publicly disclosed by foreign mining enterprises.Through the analysis of the deposit type, resource reserves, grade, exploration, development and utilization of the main projects, it is believed that the foreign mining giants all control the discourse power and competitiveness of the industry with the resource guarantee ability.At the same time, through the overseas zinc resources development situation of Chinese mining enterprises, it is revealed that there is a long way to go.In the background of “carbon peak and carbon neutral”, against the background of environmental safety, small mines shut down, in mining resources depleted under the influence of factors such as overlay, the author thinks that the mining enterprises in China should continue to actively “going out”, to strengthen the domestic lead and zinc mine under the basic production, increase the intensity of high quality resources of overseas investment, improve the rights and interests of foreign mineral production, achieve large-scale and international enterprises, in order to contribute to the national security capacity of bulk strategic mineral resources.
