They resembled pyrite-bearing tailings and were discarded, spread across cart tracks and walkways, and even used as building stone. Once the tellurides were correctly identified, the value assigned to those materials changed dramatically. According to the WA, tellurides accounted for approxima

Concrete product development can become deceptively busy. Change the binder ratio. Make a mix. Adjust the water content. Make another... Change the aggregate grading or particle packing. Make another... One result improves while another moves in the wrong direction. Strength increases, but workability falls. A further adjustment is made, followed by another round of mixing and testing. Before long, the development team has produced dozens of mixes and a substantial datas
