Gold with Pyrite, Pyrrhotite, Marcasite and Arsenopyrite
Gold with Arsenopyrite Arsenic Minerals Gold is occasionally associated with arsenic minerals as well as pyrite, stibnite, chalcopyrite, etc. Direct cyanidation in these cases is seldom possible. Additionally, when gold is associated with readily soluble arsenic compounds, there is the hazard, in precipitation, of forming arsine, AsH3.
