Consortium of UK universities and international partners researching Te and Se for solar power; crustal cycling, new ore deposits and environmental processing.
Fantastic to see the @NERCscience “Forward look for environmental science”
citing innovative work on metal recycling by @uniofleicester geoscientists and chemists @Leicesterchem forming @Descycle_Tech
This grew out of the NERC @TeaSe_SoS project.

PhD in mineral chemistry/ore metallurgy? We are looking for someone to join us @GeologyLeics
to work on technology metal endowment of orebodies and minewaste and their sustainable extraction. https://t.co/7d2jIlMIM8 #2711
🔶NEW OPEN ACCESS PAPER🔶Gold in the Irish black stuff! Not Guinness... coal! Sadly not enough to retire on, so it's another week on furlough for me...
Read it in @Minerals_MDPI here https://t.co/jrZf0gdMlj
There's even some selenium in there to keep the @TeaSe_SoS lot happy
Day 2 #7DaysOfFieldwork - Kongsberg, Norway. A very wet, but fun trip with @Gee_o_Joe for @TeaSe_SoS in 2017, looking at old VMS deposits, lots of pyrite, decent amounts of selenium, some tellurium, orange pools of water and sheep 🇳🇴
Our new @TeaSe_SoS paper, written by @Gee_o_Joe, is online in Ore Geology Reviews https://t.co/bjTWnAULgJ Kilometre-scale compartmentalization of fluid sources to a fossil hydrothermal system @abdngeology@AdrianSuerc
Excellent seminar today at @MonashEAE by @DrDaveHolwell from @TeaSe_SoS, discussing the links between #gold and #tellurium from partial melting of mantle sulphides, all the way to near-surface epithermal deposits!
@KarenLikesRocks @manenbu @UNLVGeoscience Crucial question; Nedal Nasser and others @USGSMinerals are working on this and I’ve done some here myself. Watch this space for Mo and Re (we’ve done indium somewhat already). @TeaSe_SoS can also comment here I think. Happy to pass papers on etc...
“There’s gold in them there.. erm.. coals”
Today at 15:00 (Stevenson lecture theatre) I’m talking about Pt-rich gold in Irish coals, sourced from metalliferous groundwaters. @sga_2019@sosminerals@TeaSe_SoS
The @sosminerals session @sga_2019 getting underway today with a @TeaSe_SoS keynote from Sarah Hayes @USGS on the challenges of extracting Te & Ge as byproducts of Cu & Zn
An A-Z of #tellurium#minerals:
I is for ilirneyite. One of many new minerals found in Russia in the last decade, it has a zeolitic zemannite-like structure.
One other I mineral: ingodite (a rare Bi telluride-sulphide).

Interested about how hydrous and alkali rich magmas may host gold-rich ore deposits? Check out our new publication by Holwell et al. @DrDaveHolwell@TeaSe_SoS
