Mining. Two poor German shoemakers, August Rische and George Hook, who had been grubstaked by Tabor (Blair, 1980), "happened to sink a hole where the ''contact or the mass of the ore approached the surface and found the ore body on which was developed the Little Pittsburg mine, the foundation of the fortune of H. A. W. Tabor" (Henderson, 1926).
Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide (CuFeS 2) mineral with a brassy to golden yellow color (Fig. 1.36). Chalcopyrite contains 34.5% Cu, 30.5% Fe, and 35.0% S. The mineral is the principal source of copper metal, and one of the major source of sulfur. The mineral also contains traces of elements of gold and nickel and recovered in refinery.

Pyrite, chalcopyrite, and gold occur in quartz veins in granitic rocks and as scattered and disseminated impregnations in shear zones of the highly altered metavolcanics in the Hamash area, Southeastern Desert, Egypt. The minerals are associated in part with pyrrhotite, digenite, tetrahedrite, chalcocite, bornite, and covellite. Pyrite occurs in two forms: (1) idio- to …

• Visible gold generally occurs as inclusions and at grain boundaries with grain size generally less than 15 µm; • Visible gold occurs within both silicate and sulfide species. Within the sulfides, visible Au is most common in chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite, mainly because these are the most dominant sulfide species in the deposit.
Fool''s Gold can be one of three minerals. The most common mineral mistaken for gold is pyrite. Chalcopyrite may also appear gold-like, and weathered mica can mimic gold as well.
