One in four goods manufactured today either contain platinum group metals or the platinum group metals play a key role during their manufacturing process. </p><p><br /></p><p>Over half of the supply of palladium and its congener platinum goes into catalytic converters, which convert up to 90% of harmful gases from auto exhaust (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide) into less harmful substances (nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapor). </p><p><br /></p><p>Palladium is used in many electronics including computers, mobile phones, multi-layer ceramic capacitors, component plating, low voltage electrical contacts, and SED/OLED/LCD televisions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Palladium is also used in dentistry, medicine, hydrogen purification, chemical applications, and groundwater treatment. Palladium plays a key role in the technology used for fuel cells, which combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat and water.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ore deposits of palladium and other platinum group metals are rare, and the most extensive deposits have been found in the South Africa, Montana, Ontario, Canada, and Russia. </p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to mining, recycling is also a source of palladium, mostly from scrapped catalytic converters. </p><p>The numerous applications and limited supply sources of palladium result in palladium drawing considerable investment interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
