Treating & Plating on Tellurium-bearing Copper

Received a new part made out of Tellurium-bearing Copper and the normal clean-up for copper and Plate with a cyanide copper strike does not work. Just asking if you have seen this kind of metal and know how to clean and plate. We have not tried using a acid copper strike, and that would be our next try but we do not have one set up.
