Did you know that if we extracted the Te from one Carlin type gold deposit as a byproduct, it would cover the entire US need and then some?!
The tellurium (and gold) in these deposits is all contained in our wonderful ore mineral of the year, PYRITE!!

Pyrite fun fact:
Pyrite is also know as 'Fools Gold,' but the fools don't realize that it can actually contain significant amount of 'invisible' gold!!!! Here is a image of a gold containing pyrite from Nevada, and maps showing the distribution of gold at the micrometer (bottom-left), and atomic scale (top-left)!!

A short intro:
The Commission on Ore Mineralogy of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA-COM, est 1962) aims to promote ore mineralogy within the scientific community and the public. We support the activities of other IMA commissions by providing expert advice on issues related to ore minerals. We strive to create training opportunities for the technical (scientific or industry based) community as well as educational opportunities and resources for students, educators and citizens.
