Abstract

One important tellurium source may be the ores of the Baleysky ore field in Transbaikalia. Our studies of the material composition of the gold-silver ores in the Baleysky ore field enabled the first analysis of the tellurium and selenium content in the primary and oxidized ores of the Baleysky ore field. Moreover, it has been established that tellurium in run-of-mine ores is within the limits of its association with certain mineral forms of gold and silver. The article considers their parageneses. The average tellurium content is 0.65 g/t. The average selenium content amounts to 2.59 g/t. However, no principal selenium minerals were found in the ores of the Baleysky ore field. Additionally, we developed a framework for the hydrometallurgical method of extracting tellurium and selenium from the tailings left over after processing gold-silver ores of the Taseyevsky deposit (its undeveloped reserves amount to about 105 t) and the Baleysky ore field (its gold resources by category P1 are approximately 35 t).

东外贝加尔Baleysky矿田金银矿石中的碲、硒及其伴生提取方法研究

外贝加尔Baleysky矿田的矿石可能是一个重要的碲来源。通过对Baleysky矿田金银矿石物质组成的研究，首次分析了Baleysky矿田原生矿石和氧化矿石中碲和硒的含量。此外，已经确定，未开采的矿石中的碲与某些矿物形式的金和银的联系是在一定范围内的。这篇文章考虑了它们的共通之处。碲平均含量为0.65 g/t。平均硒含量为2.59 g/t。然而，在Baleysky矿田的矿石中未发现主要的硒矿物。此外，我们开发了一个从Taseyevsky矿床（其未开发储量约为105 t）和Baleysky矿田（其P1类黄金资源约为35 t）的金银矿石加工后遗留的尾矿中提取碲和硒的湿法冶金方法框架。
