Tellurium, the New Element for Better, Safer, Longer Lasting Batteries
Vancouver BC, Canada, January 25, 2022 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL), (OTC: GODYF), (XFRA: G1J.F) (the “Company” or “First Tellurium”) continues to track advancements in tellurium battery technology globally. Researchers and scientists find adding tellurium to new and existing battery technologies can extend battery life up to 400% and in some cases hold 10 times the charge.
Since lithium-ion batteries changed the world over 30 years ago the need for a safer, lighter, longer lasting battery has been the challenge, it seems that tellurium may be the answer.
Current lithium-ion batteries use sulfur and selenium as electrode materials, tellurium is a better conductor with higher energy density.
Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) researchers have demonstrated that electrodes made from tellurium can improve the energy storage and power output of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Tellurium electrodes have higher energy densities and may be charged and discharged faster than conventional electrode materials.
The team then developed a cathode made entirely from tellurium nanowires just seven nanometers wide, which they laid together to form a mat. This formed a flexible tellurium cathode with an energy density of 1800 milliwatt hours per cubic centimeter which allowed it to store 50 per cent more energy than a conventional lithium cobalt oxide electrode of the same size. It also retained more than 98 per cent of its capacity after 80 charging cycles.
Not only is tellurium showing vast improvements in current lithium-ion batteries but in metal tellurium batteries, sulphur tellurium, zinc tellurium and new solid state lithium batteries as well.
A research team at The University of Texas at Austin has found a way to stabilize lithium-sulfur batteries, making them more likely to become commercially viable.
Lithium-sulfur batteries deliver more use per charge and are environmentally friendlier, but degrade quickly over time. Both the positive and negative electrodes in lithium-sulfur batteries hold 10 times as much charge capacity as materials in today’s lithium-ion batteries. Coating the lithium electrode with tellurium protects the electrolyte from degrading, stunts the growth of deposits and lets the battery last longer. The added a layer of tellurium on top of the lithium metal inside the battery extends the battery’s lifespan by a factor of four compared to other lithium batteries.
“From Singapore to Texas, from Canada to Europe tellurium battery research has never been more active or promising,” stated Tyrone Docherty, CEO of First Tellurium. “The superior conductivity of tellurium over other minerals is already prolific in solar panels, CDs, DVDs and semiconductors, and is now finding its way into the batteries of the future.”
The forecasted demand for tellurium already exceeds global supply without the added demand of the battery industry. We all know the basic rules of supply and demand, and when demand outs strips supply. First Tellurium holds some of the most promising tellurium properties in North America and continues to deploy its business strategies to become a key supplier of this rare element to an ever expanding industry.
What is Tellurium (Te)
Tellurium naturally occurring element found in the earth’s crust, but is extremely rare.
The largest use of tellurium (Te) in the past decade or more has been in the manufacture of thin-film photovoltaic solar panels. Tellurium, along with cadmium, is an essential component of the thin photovoltaic layer which generates the electricity from solar radiation.
Increasingly used in thermoelectric devices, including solar panels. Tellurium is also used in vulcanization of rubber, percussion caps, battery plate protectors and electrical resistors.

Mr. Guilinger, through an 11-year association, led consultants tasked with exploring and developing tellurium resources for the manufacturing of photovoltaic solar panels for First Solar.
Vancouver, BC – December 7, 2021 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTCPK: GODYF) (the “Company” or “First Tellurium”), welcomes James Guilinger to the First Tellurium team. Mr. Guilinger’s tellurium exploration and development experience spans more than 20 years, involving various investigation consulting projects for tellurium throughout the USA and the world.
Tellurium’s primary use is for manufacturing films essential to photovoltaic solar cells. When alloyed with other elements, such as cadmium, tellurium forms a compound that exhibits enhanced electrical conductivity. Therefore, a thin film can efficiently absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
While working with First Solar, Mr. Guilinger, on their behalf, accomplished:
- Exploring, developing and permitting a tellurium mine in Mexico.
- Evaluation of a shutdown Tellurium mine in China that subsequently was put back into production with exclusive sales to First Solar.
- Evaluation of a significant tellurium resource in Canada that led to the signing of an MOU for eventual sales of tellurium to First Solar.
- Exploring and sampling a high-grade tellurium & gold mine in Papua New Guinea.
- Exploring and sampling significant undeveloped tellurium-rich mineral deposits in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Canada, Sweden, Armenia, Russia, Australia and Finland.
Mr. Guilinger holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Geology from the University of Colorado, an MBA and International Business & Economics from Regis University, Denver, Colorado. He is a member of good standing with the Society of Mining Engineers of the A.I.M.E., a member of the Society of Economic Geologists and a member of the QP Geology and the Mining and Metallurgical Society.
“Having spent a great deal of my life exploring and reporting on tellurium, including a worldwide tellurium resource and market review, I am most impressed with the properties held by First Tellurium,” Stated Mr. Guilinger. “I am happy to join the team and assist in the development of these projects.”
“You’d be hard pressed to find anyone with more tellurium exploration experience than Jim,” explained Tyrone Docherty, CEO of First Tellurium. “His native understanding of tellurium, both on and off the field, is of great benefit as we move to deploy our business strategies and monetize our resources.”

Mr. Keller is Appointed Project Manager of the Klondike Tellurium Property.
Vancouver, BC, Canada, November 23 2021 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTCPK: GODYF), (the “Company” or “First Tellurium”), is pleased to introduce veteran Certified Professional Geologist John Keller who has joined the company’s advisory board and will manage exploration and development of its Klondike tellurium property in Colorado.
The largest use of tellurium (Te) in the past decade or more has been in the manufacture of thin-film photovoltaic solar panels. Tellurium, along with cadmium, is an essential component of the thin photovoltaic layer which generates the electricity from solar radiation.
First Solar is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of solar panels with a market cap of nearly USD 12 Billion and trades on the NASDAQ market. Tellurium is vital to its solar panel manufacturing.
The Klondike property was previously owned by First Solar where Mr. Keller worked from 2006 to 2011, initially as a consulting geologist and later as Exploration Manager for North America. In 2012, Keller and a small group of investors formed Colorado Klondike Llc to purchase the Klondike property from First Solar, which had recently decided to discontinue its tellurium exploration and development program. The rights to the property were subsequently optioned to First Tellurium.
Mr. Keller originally assessed Klondike in late 2006 for First Solar, and initial samples contained up to 33,000 ppm Te (3.3%). Keller later stated: “The Klondike property has by far the highest tellurium grades in rock samples of the hundreds of prospects and mines we examined in the US and Canada from 2006 to 2011. Some samples at Klondike were an order of magnitude higher in “Te” grade than any others we collected in the U.S. or in Canada. The Klondike samples with high tellurium grades also contain high-grade gold and significant silver.”
Mr Keller went on to say, “Recent news indicates that First Solar, the world’s top manufacturer of Cd-Te solar panels, plans to increase its manufacturing capacity to 16 gigawatts by the end of 2024. Based on those figures, First Solar will likely require significantly more than the 490 metric tons of tellurium that were produced globally in 2020, so increased production of tellurium is necessary, unless significant amounts are stockpiled in warehouses, which does not appear to be the case.”
Mr Keller also observed that the Biden Administration believes that solar power could supply 40% of all electricity generation by 2035, up from just 3% today, stating: “With Cd-Te thin-film technology continuing to be a large percentage of PV solar manufacturing, the market opportunity for developing new tellurium resources has never been better.”
“Having a professional with the experience and knowledge of John Keller join our company and assist in the development of our Klondike property is an attestment to the caliber of our project,” Stated Tyrone Docherty, CEO of First Tellurium. “His 24 years of experience in the minerals exploration field, and having knowledge of the geology of tellurium deposits and the solar business, is a perfect fit for our company. We look forward to his contributions as we continue to build a strong team of devoted professionals.”
First Tellurium has engaged the consulting and media advisory services of GRA Enterprises LLC. GRA has been engaged for a term of 6 months, for an aggregate fee of USD $50,000.
GRA is located at 55 Dorothea Terrace in Belleview NJ. Contact Gerald Adams, 973.277.7674

Billions are Expected to be Invested in Solar Energy and Local Supply
Vancouver, BC – November 17, 2021 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTCPK: GODYF) (the “Company” or “First Tellurium”), suggests its two assets, the Klondike tellurium-silver-gold property in Sagauche County, Colorado and the polymetallic Deer Horn Property in Canada, could be key components in realizing President Biden’s Bill. A substantial part of the Biden Infrastructure Bill is to further develop local supply of raw materials and rely less on imports from countries like China.
In a response to The Bill’s passage, Biden said: “We will get America off the sidelines on manufacturing solar panels, wind farms, batteries, and electric vehicles to grow these supply chains, reward companies for paying good wages and for sourcing their materials from here in the United States.”
President Biden wants to apply tax credits to encourage the use of solar power systems and batteries at homes, businesses and utilities. The administration also wants local governments to make it easier to obtain permits and build solar projects.
Tellurium’s primary use is for manufacturing films essential to photovoltaic solar cells. When alloyed with other elements— such as cadmium—tellurium forms a compound that exhibits enhanced electrical conductivity. Therefore, a thin film can efficiently absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “The amount of sunlight that strikes the earth’s surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world’s energy consumption for a full year.”
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) says business is booming and not about to stop anytime soon. SEIA reports that solar installations will likely double by 2023 and quadruple by 2030 from current levels. The solar market installed a record 19.2 GWdc of solar capacity in 2020, which was an increase of 43% from 2019. Solar ranked first in all generating technologies for the second year running.
“Governments globally are looking to lower their carbon footprint and Solar is leading the way. We anticipate an increased demand for Tellurium over the next decade,” stated CEO Tyrone Docherty. “Tellurium was generally mined as a by-product of copper and gold, it is now our primary focus. Recently The Biden Administration released a blueprint showing how the nation could move towards producing almost half of its electricity from the Sun by 2050. It is our objective to help this necessity to become a reality through local resources.”
To further enhance corporate awareness the company has engaged Think Ink Creative Digital Marketing. Think Ink leverages leading-edge technologies to steer traffic to clients’ web properties, drive inquiries, and collect metrics regarding engagement with content. Services provided by Think Ink include SEM (search engine marketing), search retargeting, email campaigns, and social media optimization Think Ink is to be paid a flat fee of USD $100,000 plus applicable taxes for a 3 month term.
