RHODIUM, RUTHENIUM, IRIDIUM:  WHAT & WHY?

Rhodium , ruthenium and iridium, known as minor PGMs (platinum group metals) are by-products of platinum and palladium mining.

Approx 700,000 to one million oz of rhodium and ruthenium are mined annually. Iridium has annual production of 100-200,000 oz. These metal have no terminal market, i.e. futures, although a couple of rhodium ETF’s now exist. These metals have unique properties catalytic, resistive & corrosing resistance. They are application driven and relatively liquid,  (compared to gold, silver and platinum), They trade only in the OTC marketplace and can be volatile.

WHAT FORM DO THESE METALS COME IN IF I WANT TO BUY?

These metals are marketed in sponge form (powder) although recently rhodium coins have been made & marketed, though the premiums for rhodium coins can run upwards of 10% , negating any entry point advantage for a speculative purchase. These metals are .999 + purity and are major (usually South African ) brand.
