Platinum Group Minerals in Eastern Brazil
Platinum Metals Review, 2005 Brazil does not have working platinum mines, nor even large reserves of the platinum metals, but there is platinum in Brazil. In this paper, four massifs (mafic/ultramafic complexes) in eastern Brazil, in the states of Minas Gerais and Ceará, where platinum is found will be described.

The origin of platinum group minerals in oceanic crust
Geology, 2023 Abstract Highly siderophile elements (HSEs), including Re and Os, are used extensively as geochemical tracers and geochronometers to investigate the formation and evolution of Earth’s crust and mantle. Mantle rocks are commonly serpentinized, but the effect of serpentinization on the distribution of HSEs is controversial because HSEs are

Behavior of Platinum-Group Elements during Hydrous Metamorphism: Constraints from Awaruite (Ni3Fe) Mineralization [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2023 Natural Fe-Ni alloys are common in meteorites and, presumably, the Earth’s core, where they host significant platinum-group elements (PGE). However, little is known on PGE concentrations in hydrothermal or metamorphic Fe-Ni alloys (i.e., awaruite Ni3Fe ...

Structural and dynamical properties of sperrylite (PtAs2): a molecular dynamics study [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2023 There is a demand for platinum group minerals (PGMs) due to the increase in various applications such as electronics, industrial and medical. Sperrylite (PtAs2) is one of the major PGMs, however its recovery by flotation has been reported to be poor. The

The formation of alluvial platinum-group minerals: present knowledge and the way ahead [PDF]
Mineralogical Magazine, 2021 AbstractThe weathering of platinum-group element (PGE) deposits presents unusual problems, especially in the very active environment of lateritic weathering under tropical conditions. There is clear evidence of the destruction of platinum-group minerals (PGM) to form PGE oxides, or fine intergrowths between relict PGM and iron oxides or hydroxides, as ...
