Detailed Solution

Zinc is obtained from veins and lodes.
Depending on the type of formation or structure they are found in, different mineral ores can be mined with varying degrees of ease. This also affects the cost of extraction. Minerals can be found in the joints, faults, fissures, and cracks of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Veins are the lesser occurrences, whereas lodes are the bigger ones. Most of the time, they are created as gases, and liquid minerals are driven upward through cavities and towards the earth's surface. As they ascend, they cool and solidify. Tin, copper, zinc, lead, and other critical metallic minerals are found in veins and lodes.
