Pt & Pd only

[crazyman]

Could it be possible to have very little gold but higher amounts of Pt and Pd from metal con :? centrates? Hypothetically speaking only.

 

[goldenchild]

Sure. If there are higher amounts of Pt and Pd in the concentrates.

I'm far from an expert on ores but from what I can gather PGMs are not that commonly found and most of what is recovered and refined comes from large nickel refiners same as huge quantities of gold and silver are recovered and refined by the large copper refiners. I'm sure there are other sources of PGMs but I'm fairly sure the US isn't blessed with many viable sites but you never know your luck.
