This paper estimates the amounts of Ga, Ge, and Sb as companion metals in Australian ores. This paper is first of its kind data sets of reported host and companion metal resources in Australia. This paper demonstrated the approach to estimate quantities of companion metals from the host deposits. This paper indicate that the opportunities exist for a wider scope of natural resource extraction.
