RUTHENIUM (Ru) / Question for JDF or other geos

posted on Jan 04, 2008 04:49AM

When the possibility of RHODIUM (Rh) was mentioned by Noront, I was wondering whether there is a possibility of RUTHENIUM (Ru) as well ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruthenium

The fact that other platinum metals (NOT to be confused with platinum group metals) could be found in the core, sprang to my mind when I had another look at the Freewest/SPQ/KWG map with their find:

http://www.freewest.com/_resources/properties/mcfaulds/mcfaulds_map4.pdf

This core sample contained

0,049 g/t Rhodium and

0,320 g/t Ruthenium.

Maybe there is a possibility of other rare metals to be found in Noront´s cores as well.
