- Platinum Refineries is
a full service refiner, assayer, smelter and broker of all precious
metals. Industrial Platinum, Medical Platinum, Jewelry Platinum,
Rhodium, Palladium, Gold and Silver assaying and refining is what we
specialize in.
- Platinum Refineries
provide customers with a state-of-the-art laboratory, utilizing the most
advanced induction and chemical techniques to extract every grain of
precious metals contained in your Platinum, Rhodium, Palladium, Gold and
Silver scrap.
- Platinum Refineries
never charge refining fees, and with a variety of settlement options,
fast turn-around time, and our precise and accurate assays our services
are unparalleled in the industry.
- Platinum (Pt) is a
malleable, silvery white, noble metal widely but sparingly distributed
over the earth’s crust. It is found mainly as the isotopes with atomic
weights of 194, 195 and 196, with a maximum oxidation state of +6, the
oxidation states of +2 and +4 being the most stable.The metal does not
corrode in air at any temperature.
- The mining of platinum
ores is similar to gold mining. This enables a progressive method of
mining - the reef is drilled and blasted to advance the face, support
being installed for local control of the hanging wall. As in gold mines,
platinum mining is incorporating the increased use of mechanisation and
trackless-mining methods in stopes little more than one metre high.
- Platinum mining,
however, differs from gold mining in several ways. Unlike gold reefs,
which are sedimentary deposits resulting from the settling of granular
particles on the bed of an inland lake and subjected to great pressure,
platinum reefs are igneous rocks.
- The demand for platinum
group metals(PGMs) has therefore increased exponentially and now some
seven million ounces of platinum and 6.5 million ounces of palladium are
used annually, of which 40% of platinum and 65% of palladium are used in
catalysts.This growing demand has encouraged an exploration boom for
PGMs, which are relatively rare in the geological record.
