Treatment of telluride ore began in Vanuwtu, Fiji, in 1934 using a conventional refractory treatment circuit using roasting followed by cyanide leach of the calcine. A hydrometallurgical treatment method for the leaching of gold telluride along with the production of tellurium metal was devised at Emperor Gold Mine (Cornwall and …

The main gold telluride, calaverite [AuTe 2], being of a brittle nature, mills very readily. The common use of hydrocyclones to classify the mill product leads to a preferential overgrinding of this high-SG material over the other ore components. This results in a much finer average telluride mineral particle size than the host material.

The independent selenides coexisting with tellurides and sulfides were discovered for the first time in the Zhaishang gold deposit. • The ore-forming materials leached from the underlying Paleozoic strata, and were affected by Indosinian magmatism. ...

In copper ores, tellurium forms stable crystalline compounds (called tellurides) of gold, silver, bismuth, mercury, platinum and palladium that …

The low gold extraction can be attributed to the fact that some of the gold in the ore occurs as gold telluride minerals having slow dissolution characteristic in cyanide solutions, which results ...

Depending on temperatures, scavenging of Au by Bi(Te) melts, or partial melting of a pre-existing ore, may offer alternatives to generate telluride-rich gold ores. Pressure variation, e.g., by throttling, appears to impact on telluride deposition and distribution in any given deposit. The Tetradymite Group – Old Friends Revisited

The fourth class of gold ores comprises the gold-telluride group. The gold telluride ores occur with silver, or with silver, lead and antimony, or as native gold accompanied by other tellurides. These ores are often sent …

Calaverite is an ore of gold. It is also rare collector's mineral, with special value due to its gold content. The bulk of collector's specimens of Calaverite are from several of the mines in the Cripple Creek District, Teller Co., Colorado, including the Ajax/Cresson, Doctor, El Paso, Mary McKinney, Molly Kathleen, Portland, and Vindicator Mines.

The ore − forming materials of telluride gold deposits may be partly derived from the deep mantle, and they are consistent in provenance and channel. At the same time, the intrusion of alkaline magma also provides the necessary conditions of sufficient heat energy and water for gold mineralization, ...

Gold-(silver)-telluride (selenide) ores occur as epithermal orogenic and intrusion related deposits. Although Te and Se are chalcophile elements and share geochemical affinity with Au, formation of selenides and other elements Ag-Au require acidic or reducing environments. The thermodynamic stability conditions for Au and …

Gold-silver telluride minerals, and gold ores from Colorado. Arguably, tellurium-rich gold ores are developed in Colorado as well as anywhere on Earth, both in economic terms (tonnage of contained gold) and in light of the occurrence of diverse well-crystallized mineral species. Thus the MINLIB bibliography (21 July 2014) contains 111 records ...

The question as to whether cyanide can successfully recover gold from gold-telluride ores has long been debated. The simplest and most common association of …

The primary gold telluride minerals are represented by three distinct species: calaverite (Au 0. 85Ag 0.15Te 2), krennerite (Au 0. 75Ag 0.25Te 2), and sylvanite (AuAgTe 4). All …

The Sandaowanzi gold-telluride deposit, with a total reserve of ≥ 25 t of Au and an average grade of 15 g/t, is located in the Great Hinggan Range Metallogenic Belt in NE China. This deposit is the first reported case of a dominantly Au (±Ag)-telluride deposit in this area and it reveals highly economic bonanza Au- and Ag-telluride ores. Ore …

Gold telluride ores are important gold refractory ores due to the presence of sulfides and other gangue materials. The classification and main physical properties of gold telluride ores were described, and possible treatment methods including flotation, leaching, and oxidation were reviewed. The results show that flotation procedures are …

abundance of Bi-telluride species, commonly stable together with native bismuth. Gold-Bi compounds, such as maldonite and/or jonassonite, contribute to the mineralogical balance of gold ore, instead of Au(Ag)-tellurides (Ciobanu et al., 2005). A modified definition of the term 'gold-telluride deposits' was thus proposed (Cook and

The Jinqingding ore deposit, located in the eastern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula (Fig. 1), represents one of the rare quartz-vein-type deposits that is abundant in telluride among the other major gold deposits in Jiaodong.Previous investigations into altered-rock-type gold deposits have not placed much emphasis on the occurrence of telluride minerals.

Ore bodies in rocks of the crystalline basement (A-type alkaline deposits) contain epithermal gold-telluride (Au-Te) mineralization, which is new for Central Aldan ore district.

Telluride-rich gold deposits in the world have been studied intensively, on their mineralogy, paragenesis, chemistry, physicochemistry conditions of ore-forming fluids, solid exsolution-based temperature indicator (Xu et al., 2011, Xu et al., 2012, Yu et al., 2012), and geochemistry of major and trace elements of the ore bodies, based on which ...

For the investigated gold telluride containing ore, 20% of the gold is absorbed by the cupel, and 36% is found in the slag: the fire assay technique is only determining 44% of the total gold. Roasting the ore at 650 °C for 24 or 72 h in the presence of air before the fire assay permits to increase the reported gold from 44% to 57 and …

The Mysterious Telluride Minerals. August 2020 by Chris Ralph …let's dive in and take a closer look at these rich gold and silver-bearing minerals to find out what they are, where …

Gold–(silver) telluride deposits normally contain a dozen or more different telluride and selenide minerals and present complex ore textures. An example is seen in the ores of the recently discovered Sandaowanzi gold deposit, where sylvanite is the most abundant gold-bearing mineral and together with petzite and krennerite accounts for …

Extraction of gold from tellurium gold ore Telluride ore is not suitable for direct cyanidation, because it dissolves very slowly in cyanide solutions. Therefore, it is usually roasted to decompose gold telluride compounds. After calcination, gold is recovered from the telluride ore with the aid of a copper cyanide solution. 7. Gold in …

Gold-Bi compounds, such as maldonite and/or jonassonite, contribute to the mineralogical balance of gold ore, instead of Au(Ag)-tellurides (Ciobanu et al., 2005).

The gold telluride ores occur with silver, or with silver, lead and antimony, or as native gold accompanied by other tellurides. These ores are often sent direct to the smelters for …

Gold-bearing tellurides are silvery to pyrite-yellow minerals, commonly striated, unlike gold which is a deeper yellow and rarely crystalline. The first modern treatment of gold-telluride ores was performed in 1891 in the …

The Oroya Shoot (> 62 t Au) in the giant Golden Mile deposit, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia is controlled by reverse faults, which offset altered quartz diorite porphyry but are crosscut by a late-mineralization kersantite dyke (> 2642 ± 6 Ma). Oroya stage 1 ore (12–14 g/t Au) is characterized by chert-like quartz, Fe-chlorite, siderite and pyrite (10–20 …
