Tellurium (Te) is a rare metalloid in the chalcogen group of the Periodic Table. Tellurium is
regularly listed as a critical raw material both due to its increased use in the solar industry …

Microorganisms are key-drivers of carbon-, nitrogen-, sulfur-and metal cycling on Earth.
Through their metabolic activities they directly and indirectly link element cycles. This leads …

The northern part of Cameroon is a Sudanese or Sudano-Sahelian type characterized
mainly by a dry climate, a significant landscape position, and distance from the primary gold …

Placer gold particles have traditionally been considered as either detrital products of
weathering or authigenic minerals growing within placers. Recent advances in …

The Fresnedoso creek gold placer (FGP) in the Moraleja Basin (W Iberian Massif) has been
investigated in terms of morphological, textural and compositional evolution of gold particles …

Topography plays a major role in the morphology, geochemistry, and mineral inclusion
profiles of placer gold from the East Fork of the San Gabriel River. These trends are …

Abstract Tellurium (Te) is a Critical Mineral and its biogeochemical behaviour has mostly
been interpreted from laboratory-based studies rather than direct field observations, due to …

Abstract Native Au-Ag alloys (electrum) are the predominant precious metal host in Au-
bearing volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. The chemical composition and …

ABSTRACT A bacterial consortium was enriched from gold particles that 'experienced'ca. 80
years of biotransformation within waste-rock piles (Australia). This bacterial consortium was …

Bacteria catalyze the dissolution and re-precipitation of gold, thereby driving the
biogeochemical cycle of gold. Dissolution of gold/silver and re-precipitation of gold …
