We show that 43 the concentrations of precious metals (e.g., Au, Ag), metalloids (e.g., As, Sb, Se, Te), 44 and base and heavy metals (e.g., Cu, Co, Ni, Pb) in pyrite at the TGS are significant.

45Among the elements analyzed, As and Cu are the most abundant with concentrations 46 that vary from sub-ppm levels to a few wt. % (i.e., up to ~5 wt. % As, ~1.5 wt. % Cu).
