Gohan,

Welcome to the forum. Here you will be able to find some better ways to deal with your ore than mercury.

I don't know that you will find anyone here to supply mercury to you. This is a link to a previous thread in which someone was looking for mercury. I think you'll get a pretty good idea of the prevailing opinions regarding mercury and it use. http://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=14141

Take a look through the Prospecting and mining area of the forum here: http://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=44

Cinnabar can be retorted to produce mercury metal. Be sure to use the precautions regarding retorting mercury if you do that.

Gold tellurides will not amalgamate with mercury well. If you roast them first, you can avoid the use of mercury entirely and recover the gold using gravity methods such as panning.

Most gold tellurides are high grade gold ores. How much have you got?
