A quantitative method for determination of trace metal concentrations in sedimentary pyrite
TL;DR: In this article, a new method derived from the Lord technique was proposed for quantifying trace metal concentrations in sedimentary pyrite, which involves the sequential leaching of sediments using 1 M HCl (reactive fraction), 10 M HF (silicate fraction) and concentrated HNO 3 (pyrite fraction).

Trace-element characteristics of different pyrite types in Mesoarchaean to Palaeoproterozoic placer deposits
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative in situ LA-ICPMS trace-element study on pyrite from three different, variably auriferous, Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic palaeoplacer deposits in the Ouro Fino Syncline (Quadrilatero Ferrifero; Brazil), the Elliot Lake area north of Lake Huron (SE Canada) and several deposits within the Witwatersrand Basin (South Africa) revealed systematic differences between morphologically different Pyrite types and between the various palaeplacer deposits.

The Environmental Geochemistry of Arsenic — An Overview —
TL;DR: The toxicity, mobility, and fate of arsenic in the environment are determined by a complex series of controls dependent on mineralogy, chemical speciation, and biological processes as discussed by the authors, which can lead to significant impacts on human health in many areas of the world.

Deciphering the Hydrothermal Evolution of a VMS System by LA-ICP-MS Using Trace Elements in Pyrite: An Example from the Bracemac-McLeod Deposits, Abitibi, Canada, and Implications for Exploration
Dominique Genna,Damien Gaboury +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, textural and chemical characterization of pyrite was used to reconstruct the hydrothermal evolution of the Bracemac-McLeod Archean volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits in the Matagami district, Abitibi, Canada.

Mineralogy of the sulphide deposits at Sulitjelma, northern Norway
TL;DR: The pyritic VMS deposits at Sulitjelma, northern Norway have been regionally metamorphosed at amphibolite facies during the Caledonide Orogen as mentioned in this paper.

Statistics and data analysis in geology
TL;DR: In this article, a thoroughly revised edition presents important methods in the quantitative analysis of geologic data, such as probability, nonparametric statistics, and Fourier analysis, as well as data analysis methods such as the semivariogram and the process of kriging.

Cobalt, nickel and selenium in sulphides as indicators of ore genesis
G. Loftus-Hills,M. Solomon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the cobalt and nickel contents of pyrites from a number of these ores have been determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and preliminary results show that the pyrites may be grouped as follows: a) those of sedimentary or diagenetic origin in shales, and b) those with probable volcanic origin associated with lead and zinc minerals, and those with cassiterite or argentiferous galena related to granitic intrusions.
