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).
