The carrier holds the platinum, palladium and rhodium. We decan, mill and homogenise every batch before it reaches the ICP-OES, so the grade you are paid on is the grade the material actually holds, not a visual estimate.The carrier holds the platinum, palladium and rhodium.

Steel-bodied material is routinely called "difficult" and bought at a flat rate.Steel-bodied material is routinely called "difficult" and bought at a flat rate.
Both types run through the same preparation route in our plant — mechanical separation before assay — and settle on the same disclosed payable % as ceramic. Collect your sensors alongside the converters: one lot, one report, no separate minimum.Both types run through the same preparation route in our plant — mechanical separation before assay — and settle on the same disclosed payable % as ceramic.

The platinum and palladium sit at lower grades spread through a loaded carrier, so the piece tells you nothing about the content. We prepare and homogenise the substrate before assay and settle it by content, on the same report as the rest of your batch.The platinum and palladium sit at lower grades spread through a loaded carrier, so the piece tells you nothing about the content.

Material from refining, chemical and petrochemical plants carries platinum, palladium, rhodium and often ruthenium on alumina, silica or carbon carriers. Every lot is dried, milled and homogenised before the ICP-OES, and settled on the metals it actually holds.Material from refining, chemical and petrochemical plants carries platinum, palladium, rhodium and often ruthenium on alumina, silica or carbon carriers.

We sample and assay each delivery against your own figures, with an umpire procedure written into the agreement if the two diverge. Settlement runs on the same disclosed payable % as every other stream we take.We sample and assay each delivery against your own figures, with an umpire procedure written into the agreement if the two diverge.

Low grade across a large tonnage means the whole case rests on representative sampling.Low grade across a large tonnage means the whole case rests on representative sampling.
Tailings, slags, furnace residues and flue dust still hold platinum group metals. We take the sample at volume, homogenise it and assay it before any price is discussed — then settle on content, not on tonnage.Tailings, slags, furnace residues and flue dust still hold platinum group metals.
