AbstractGold and silver are capable of forming stable natural compounds with different elements. For gold 36 minerals are known: 10 in the class Native metals, intermetallic compounds and 26 in the class Sulfides (selenides, tellurides, arsenides, antimonides, bismuthides). For silver, 194 minerals are registered in the MMA, presented in 8 classes. Compared to gold in the class

25/3/2019#0183;#32;The main sulfide ore of copper throughout the world. And wheres theres copper theres usually some silver or gold found along with it. Chalcopyrite is typically a brassy yellow in color and when exposed to the elements loses its metallic luster. Its surface then becomes rough or granular.
1/1/2007#0183;#32;Gold and silver in massive sulphide ores occur mainly as electrum grains 1 to 20 m in size. Microprobe analyses of five grains give Au contents in the range to wt.% with a mean of wt.% (Liu et al., 1994). Most of the electrum occurs as inclusions in chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite, as well as in gangue minerals. Galena
In many deposits located in desert regions, silver sulfide minerals like acanthite (argentite), stephanite, and polybasite or oxidized by exposure to air and water into a silver chloride, also known as cerargyrite. as a result, this type of silver ore is only found near the surface. Once miners get down below the water table, this type of mineral and ore will disappear and only sulfides will be found in its place.
Sulfide Quartz Gold Deposits Hodgson (1993) cited a body of evidence developed by Goldfarb and others (1986), Hamilton (1988), Hoffman (1990), and Kerrich and Wyman (1990) in which formation of lowsulfide quartz gold deposits are associated the prograding of arctrench complexes at convegent plate margins. The model developed for the process of
Since sulphide flotation collectors chemisorb to the target mineral surfaces, because noble metals do not react, collector adsorption on a pure gold surface is not possible. Use of cresylic based dithiophosphates does provide some collection of gold particularly in goldsilver ore flotation. Alternatively, if there is significant metallic gold association with silver metal, because silver has a reactive
tions with silver, copper, nickel, palladium, and platinum. In association with the platinum metals, gold occurs as free gold as well as in solid solution. The native elements contain the most gold, followed by the sulfide minerals. Several gold tellurides are known, but no gold selenides have been reported, and
17/10/2019#0183;#32;An epithermal gold deposit in the making! . High sulphide deposits. As the name suggests, high sulphide deposits tend to be more sulphiderich; containing pyrite (iron sulphide), enargite (copperarsenic sulphide) as well as gold and silver. They appear to be genetically and spatially linked to deep seated porphyry coppergold deposits. High sulphide deposits are formed in a similar manner to low

15/12/2005#0183;#32;Ore deposits formed by lateral secretion are formed by metamorphic reactions during shearing, which liberate mineral constituents such as quartz, sulfides, gold, carbonates, and oxides from deforming rocks, and focus these constituents into zones of reduced pressure or dilation such as faults. This may occur without much hydrothermal fluid flow, and this is typical of podiform chromite deposits.
In the case of many complex gold and silver ores roasting before cyanidation is essential if satisfactory extraction of the precious metals is to be obtained. In such cases no practical amount of grinding or prolonged contacting of the raw ore with cyanide solution will affect more than a certain low extraction; in other cases, while the extractions may be acceptable, the consumption of
The former are classed with decreasing crustal level as: quartzsulphide gold + copper, passing to polymetallic goldsilver veins, carbonatebase metal gold and shallowest epithermal quartz goldsilver. These ore types are zoned in time and space with shallower styles over the deeper, and metal contents which vary as high Cu at depth, to Ag and Au dominant in elevated crustal settings.
Free gold taken from hard rock ores always contains at least a little silver, with the average gold fineness typically being in the range of around 80 percent, but it does vary quite a bit. Any associated sulfides in the ore are likely to carry more silver in proportion than the native gold.
1/1/2011#0183;#32;The pretreatment of an antimonial refractory gold and silver ore was investigated using alkaline sulphide leaching. The ore assayed 20 g/t Au and 220 g/t Ag and contained predominantly quartz/clay and barite, and to a lesser extent, sulphides such as pyrite, stibnite, sphalerite, zinkenite (Pb 9 Sb 22 S 42) and andorite (Sb 3 PbAgS 6).The latter mineral was identified to be the most important
Gold Silver Quartz Ore Sulphide Feb 17 Gold is also found in volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits The quotassociationquot of gold with limestone can be a matter of gold in solution venting through fractures in limestone Since limestone is quotbasicquot in a chemical sense sulfide solutions that are acidic will under certain conditions dissolve limestone and form massive sulfide deposits
Gold occurred in quartzsulphide reefs within Umberatana Group quartzite and schist over a distance of ~3 km. Sulphide minerals included pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and chalcopyrite. The major mines were BirdinHand, New Era and Eureka. The goldfield was found by the discovery of alluvial gold which continued to be a minor producer in the area.
