Dec 10, 2018The platinum group metals (PGMs) are six transitional metal elements that are chemically, physically, and anatomically similar. The PGMs are the densest known metal elements. Exceptionally rare, the six metals naturally occur in the same ore bodies. They are highly durable and, due to their high value, often recycled, giving them long life cycles.

The platinum-group metals' grades in flotation concentrates are reliably predicted by the content of related metals in ores. These dependencies are linear with high correlation coefficients: for platinum R = 0.94, and for palladium - R = 0.89.
