Wright had sold the claims that became Sylvanite to Harry Oakes in exchange for Lakeshore property, shares in the mine and a vice-presidency.

Weissite occurs in hydrothermal deposits associated with pyrite, native tellurium, sylvanite, petzite, rickardite, native sulfur, native gold, calaverite and krennerite.
13.
Associated minerals include sylvanite, hessite, altaite, petzite, empressite, native tellurium, native gold, galena, sphalerite, colusite, tennantite and pyrite.

It is a low temperature hydrothermal mineral that occurs associated with vulcanite, native tellurium, cameronite, petzite, sylvanite, berthierite, pyrite, arsenopyrite and bornite.

It was named for the County of origin by chemist and mineralogist Frederick Augustus Genth who differentiated it from the known gold telluride mineral sylvanite, and formally reported it as a new gold mineral in 1868.
16.
Natural gold tellurides, like calaverite and krennerite ( AuTe 2 ), petzite ( Ag 3 AuTe 2 ), and sylvanite ( AgAuTe 4 ), are minor ores of gold ( and tellurium ).
17.
Gold sometimes occurs combined with tellurium as the minerals calaverite, krennerite, nagyagite, petzite and sylvanite ( see telluride minerals ), and as the rare bismuthide maldonite ( Au 2 Bi ) and antimonide aurostibite ( AuSb 2 ).

During the 1930s the town's seven great gold mines ( Macassa, Tough-Oaks, Kirkland Lake Gold, Lakeshore, Wright-Hargreaves, Teck-Hughes and Sylvanite ) provided one million dollars to the province s economy and employed 4, 640 workers.
19.
Tellurium is sometimes found in its native ( i . e ., elemental ) form, but is more often found as the tellurides of gold such as calaverite and krennerite ( two different polymorphs of AuTe 2 ), petzite, Ag 3 AuTe 2, and sylvanite, AgAuTe 4.
