Hello, my name is John and I have found a good amount of tellurides in the mineral belt of Colorado and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on companies that will refine tellurides?
Is it worth it to roast the samples to bring out the gold in the samples?
Is their a market for these types of ores?
Is it possible to have an assay performed to determine the amounts of precious metals present? If so, does the assay need to be a platinum group assay rather than a regular fire assay?
I am new to the forum and hope I am following all forum rules in this post.
I have also found other types of gold and silver ores, gold, silver, and copper alloys, ( some with ancient paleo hebraic letters engraved) mustard or sponge gold that seems to have very thin white (quartz?) veins running all the way through the fine grade molecules.
I am not very experienced with chemical extractions but have a lot of questions and am hoping that I can find some wisdom and guidance here on this forum now that I have a digital microscope and can post photos of samples.
Thanks everyone and have a great day,
John in Colorado
