Mostly copy changes and some citations that should be switched out for others in the same article. Well on its way, in my estimation.

Despite closure of the mine, scavenging of metal scraps from the abandoned tailings and wastes stored on the mine has continued to serve as a source of metal pollution, especially dusts emanating from the mine dumps.Does this describe artisanal mining? It does note the continued lead risk. Change any refs on artisanal mining to [11]; leave [10] to mention continued risk.
As shown in Table 2, all of the sampled children had BLLs exceeding the guideline value that raise ‘health concerns’ (5 μg/dL).There were 246 samples; 161 of the 246 were above 5 μg/dL. That's a good use for "many".
Shortly after Zambian independence, in 1964, the name of both the mine and the town that had grown up around it was changed from Broken Hill to Kabwe. Underground mining ceased in 1994, but artisanal operations have continued to recover ore minerals from spoil heaps and waste dumps.
Under the auspices of the Rhodesia Broken Hill Company, mining at Kabwe commenced in 1904 and reached full-scale production in 1906 (CitationMufinda 2015), and in the ensuing eighty-eight years, the Broken Hill deposit produced more than 1.8 million tons (mt) of zinc and 0.8 mt of lead metal; 7,816 tonnes of vanadium oxide; 80,000 kilograms of silver; and 235,000 kilograms of cadmium
Caverns in the lower part of the gossan contained mammalian bones and associated phosphate minerals, including pyromorphite, hopeite, parahopeite, and tarbuttite, and the vanadates descloizite and vanadinite....
"caves lined with beautiful crystals of pyromorphite and cerussite were disclosed"(Pelletier 1929)
was most productive under the ownership of Anglo American South Africa, between 1906 and 1974. The Zambian Government then took over until the mine closed in 1994.The 1925 date is in the co-cited Al Jazeera article and also in Foreign Policy:
The lawsuit was filed in Johannesburg because Anglo American was headquartered there when it held a majority stake in the lead mine in Kabwe from 1925 until 1974, when it was nationalized by the Zambian government—before eventually being closed in 1994.
Sphalerite, galena, pyrite, minor chalcopyrite, and accessory Ge-sulphides of briartite and renierite constitute the primary ore mineral assemblage. Cores of massive sulphide orebodies are surrounded by oxide zones of silicate ore (willemite) and mineralized jasperoid that consists largely of quartz, willemite, cerussite, smithsonite, goethite and hematite, as well as numerous other secondary minerals
Earwig finds a few five- or six-word phrases shared but they are not creative phrases.
There is a 1906 railway construction image, LOC, no known copyright restrictions. The rock image is CC-BY-SA 3.0. Encouragement: Use somewhat more descriptive alt text and add it to the railway image, even if it's "Refer to caption".
