In recent years our knowledge of ore deposits, and of the conditions under which they were deposited, has been augmented by experimental investigations of sulphide, and to a lesser extent, arsenide, oxide, selenide, and telluride systems. The physical conditions of formation for the gold-silver tellurides were examined in detail in the present study. These minerals have a wide geographic distribution and occur in several geological environments. The spectacular ores at the gold and silver mining camps of Cripple Creek, Colorado, Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and Sacarambu and Offenbanya in Transylvania consisted of telluride mineralization. Gold-silver tellurides are also present as minor constituents in some sulphide ore deposits and quartz-vein-type gold deposits. There are as many as 26 such occurrences in the Canadian shield alone (Thompson, 1949). [...]
