anodes are electrolytically refined by dissolving in acidic copper sulphate with the copper being deposited on starting sheets to produce cathodes. Anode impurities either dissolve in the electrolyte or fall to the bottom of the electrolytic cell as anode slimes. These slimes contain selenium, tellurium, gold, silver and platinum group metalsWeb

However, tellurium is far more abundant in the wider universe. Tellurium was originally and is most commonly found in gold tellurides. However, the largest source for modern production of tellurium is as a byproduct of blister copper refinement. The treatment of 500 tons of copper ore results in 0.45 kg of tellurium.Web

In their study, Jowitt and McNulty looked at active mines in the U.S. and Canada where tellurium is known to be found. After examining 518 mineral deposits found in the mines, they used their proxies to determine that 18 of the gold mines could produce approximately 90 tons of tellurium each year at the current rate they are being mined.Web

These mineral deposits contain trace amounts of tellurium, a reason why its production is ligated to indirect mining. Therefore, the metalloid mainly comes from copper refining as a by-product with the concentrations of 1–4%. Large-tonnage, low-grade ores from copper and copper–gold porphyry-type deposits are the reported primary sources.Web
