Best regards,

Thanks Dr. Grundmann,

The situation is little different. We can talk further once I start this work. However, I request you kindly to share the full paper. My e.mail i.d. is [email protected].

Yes, very much.

We have an experimental studies showing precisely that: crystallisation of magnetite (and other Fe-Ti oxides) will extract PGE+Au+Ag from the silicate melt as nanonuggets and then further crystallisation will coarsen them to micrometre-scale minerals. No sulfide is required.

Thanks Michael for your answer. The magnetite body shows assemblage of PGE and gold. The prospect is good and there is a need of total experimentation.

Stella intrusion at South Africa is a good example. See: Maier et al. 2003. Pt-Pd reefs in magnetitites of the Stella layered intrusion, South Africa: A world of new exploration opportunities for platinum group elements. Geology; October 2003; v. 31; no. 10; p. 885–888;

Plese check out our work on PGE-rich magnetite layers in the Musgrave Province of Western Australia.

Thanks Dr. Karykowski for sharing your work.

I know similar situation occurs in the Kalplats deposit here in South Africa. I think Wolfgang Maier was co-author in a publication.
