The gold‐telluride stage represents the main stage of gold precipitation. In gold‐polymetallic sulfide stage, Au formed within pyrite and As‐bearing pyrite in the form of invisible gold, whereas in the gold‐telluride stage, Au occurs as visible gold, such as native gold, electrum, calaverite, and petzite.

The Tuvatu gold–telluride prospect is one of several epithermal gold systems along the >250 km northeast trending Viti Levu lineament, Fiji, which are genetically associated with alkalic magmatism. Vein structures contain a variety of sulfides, native elements, sulfosalts, and tellurides. Calaverite is intimately associated with various …

Cononish is demonstrated to be a tellurium-rich orogenic gold deposits with Te/Au ≈ 2.4. • The early Au mineralisation is Te rich and has a δ 34 S of 2.0‰.. The late Au mineralisation is Te poor and has a δ 34 S of 11.4‰.. The deposit is interpreted as forming from an early magmatic fluid interacting with metamorphic rocks.
LA-ICPMS analysis of pyrite in ten gold deposits is used to determine the precise siting of invisible gold within pyrite, and thus the timing of gold introduction relative to the growth of pyrite and related orogenic events. A spectrum of invisible gold relationships in pyrite has been observed which suggests that, relative to orogenic …
1. Introduction. The tellurium–gold–silver series is one of the most important types of gold deposit in the world. A characteristic feature of such deposits is the presence of metallic minerals comprising a substantial number of tellurides and minerals containing natural elements such as gold, silver, or tellurium.
Te–Bi bearing minerals are commonly present in many hydrothermal gold deposits and can provide important physicochemical constraints on their mineralization. The gold mineralization in the Xiejiagou gold deposit is hosted in the Mesozoic Linglong granite and consists of auriferous quartz veins and subordinate disseminated ores in the vein …
Pyrite, the most abundant sulfide on Earth and a common component of gold deposits, can be a significant host for refractory gold. This is the first documentation of pore-attached, composite Au ...
Tellurium was discovered in a gold ore from the mines in Zlatna, near present day Sibiu, Transylvania. The ore was known as "Faczebajer weißes blättriges Golderz" (white leafy gold ore from Faczebaja) or antimonalischer Goldkies (antimonic gold pyrite). In 1782, while serving as the Austrian chief inspector of mines in Transylvania, …
Tellurium contents in pyrite increase from pure pyrite (up to 220 ppm) to low-As pyrite (up to 1.4 wt. %), but with a decrease towards high-As pyrite (up to 185 ppm).

In the case of pyrite, ion substitution at the lattice level involving elements such as Co, Ni, and As, along with coupled dissolution-reprecipitation (CDR) processes …
The Yongxin gold deposit, in the southern part of the Duobaoshan polymetallic metallogenic belt (DPMB), northeast China, is an epithermal gold deposit with 21 tons of identified gold reserves. Gold mineralization is mainly hosted in the Carboniferous syenogranite and mylonite. This deposit shows a pronounced tellurium signature which …
Tellurium-gold (Te-Au) deposits contain large amounts of tellurides and are important potential sources of Te. ... Native gold occurs in pyrite, especially it its fractures, while electrum coexists with galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Stage III is the most important gold mineralization stage.
Fissure gold usually occurs in the cracks of pyrite, chalcopyrite (Fig. 7 i, 7j), or sphalerite (Fig. 7 k, 7 l), while gold contained in assemblages is often associated with …
