Missouri has a long and diverse mining heritage, beginning with Native Americans, followed by French-Canadian explorers, and later by European settlers. Lead and fur were the most important exports from Missouri during its early years as a Spanish, French, and then United States territory. Southeastern Missouri, with the largest known concentration of galena (lead sulfide) in the world, was the site of the first prolonged mining in the state and has produced lead almost continuously since 1721. It has three world-class lead/zinc subdistricts surrounding the St. Francois Mountains: the Old Lead Belt; the Mine La Motte-Fredericktown, which also produced nickel, copper, silver, and cobalt; and the Viburnum Trend, currently (2008) producing lead, zinc, copper, and silver. The Old Lead Belt is north of the St. Francois Mountains, Mine La Motte-Fredericktown is to the east, and the Viburnum Trend is to the west. The entire region is referred to as the Southeast Missouri Lead District.
The deposits of the Southeast Missouri Lead District are a class known as Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) deposits. Although MVT deposits are named for the region in the United States where they were first described and studied, they occur on every continent of the world. The MVT deposits of the Southeast Missouri Lead District are metal-sulfide deposits that are hosted in Paleozoic dolostone, limestone, and to a lesser extent sandstone. Arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc are the primary trace elements associated with the sulfide minerals of MVT. The primary metal-sulfide minerals of these deposits are pyrite–marcasite, galena, and sphalerite. In localized areas, mixed-metal sulfide minerals also occur in minor amounts. These include copper sulfide minerals such as bornite, chalcopyrite, and enargite; nickel sulfide minerals such as millerite and vaesite; and iron sulfide minerals such as arsenopyrite.

The Southeast Missouri Lead District comprises three major mining subdistricts – the Old Lead Belt, Mine LaMotte-Fredericktown, and the Viburnum Trend (New Lead Belt) as well as the smaller Annapolis, Indian Creek, and Irondale subdistricts. The Southeast Missouri Lead District forms an arcuate belt surrounding the Mesoproterozoic (∼1500–1300 Ma) St. Francois Mountains terrane within the Ozark Uplift. Following uplift and erosion of the crystalline basement, Upper Cambrian sediments were deposited unconformably during a marine transgression. From oldest to youngest, these comprise the Lamotte Sandstone, the Bonneterre Dolomite, Davis Formation, and Derby-Doe Run Dolomite. The Lamotte Sandstone is considered as an ore fluid paleo-aquifer that channeled chloride-rich metalliferous basinal brines, whereas the shale-rich Davis Formation served as an impermeable cap for the MVT fluids.
