To 'trade2much' on 'North American Palladium' -

RE:
do you guys know of a Rhodium play perhaps similar to PAL?

The platinum group (alternatively, the platinum group metals
or platinum metals) is a collective name sometimes used
for six metallic elements clustered together
in the periodic table -

The six platinum group metals -
are ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum.

They have similar physical and chemical properties, and
tend to occur in Platinum -
together in the same mineral deposits -

ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium =
often a certain percentage of the platinum (mother) -

Rustenburg is home to the two largest platinum mines in
the world and the world's largest platinum refinery,
PMR [3] (Precious Metal Refiners), which processes
around 70% of the world's platinum -
and they refine the platinum -
and are able to get the ruthenium, rhodium, palladium,
osmium, iridium from -
the platinum concentrate -

Naturally occurring platinum and platinum-rich alloys have
been known for a long time.
Though the metal was used by pre-Columbian peoples,
the first European reference to platinum appears in 1557
in the writings of the Italian humanist Julius Caesar Scaliger
(1484-1558) as a description of a mysterious metal found
in Central American mines between Darién (Panama) and
Mexico ("up until now impossible to melt by any of
the Spanish arts").

Ps.
The Spaniards named the metal platina ("little silver")
when they first encountered it in Colombia.
They regarded platinum as an unwanted impurity -
in the silver they were mining.
Also the first placer miners on Fraser River in B.C.,
classified it as a nuisance and made it to
leave a right - but got the nuisance in every pan and
sluice box and had to hand pick it away -
it was first in the beginning of 1900 (after more than
50 years of panning and mining) one sent it - ( the leavearight)
to Rustenburg and got to know that it was platinum.
