Platina a rodium

Platinum has now pushed over $2000 an ounce. Rhodium has pushed thru $8500 an ounce. To say these metals have been on fire would be an understatement. The increase in these two metals has been because of power and labor issues in South Africa. The biggest beneficiaries of the issues in South Africa have been the producers in North America and Russia. While North America and Russia deposits "usually" has more palladium than platinum and rhodium in its deposits (note: palladium has also done well) they are still benefiting greatly from this price boom.

PGM metals are hot right now, and even though prices might come off from these high levels once the South Africa situation is ironed out, companies that can find high-grade PGM projects outside of South Africa will be in high demand.
