The principal countries where platinum and palladium are extracted (along with nickel) are South Africa, Canada and the former USSR, though significant amounts come from Colombia, China and Western Australia [14], The... 

Deposits of ores containing palladium, as well as other metals, are found in Siberia and the Ural Mountains of Russia, Canada, and South Africa, as well as in South America. 

As of 2008, Russia and South Africa produced about 82 percent of the palladium mined in the world. Other countries that produce the metal include Canada, the United States, and Zimbabwe. 

Platinum, palladium and rhodium are mined in a limited number of countries, the most important being South Africa, the former USSR, the USA and Canada...

Raymond Kapral carried out his doctoral studies on molecular quantum mechanics at Princeton University and received his Ph.D. in 1967. He pursued his postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where his interests switched to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. He then took a faculty position at the University of Toronto in 1969 where he is currently Professor of Chemistry. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and received the Palladium Medal of the Chemical Institute of Canada in 2003. European collaborations have not only provided an opportunity to mix quantum and classical mechanics but also to mix science with good food and wine. 

Ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, palladium and platinum are the six heaviest members of Group VII1. They are rare elements platinum itself is the commonest with an abundance of about 10-6% whereas the others have abundances of the order of 10"7 % of the earth s crust. They occur in Nature as metals, often as alloys such as osmiridium, and in arsenide, sulfide and other ores. The elements are usually associated not only with one another but also with the coinage metals copper, silver and gold. The main suppliers are South Africa, Canada and the USSR.

Most important mineral Palladium is a PGM (platinum group metal). It is mainly found alloyed with other platinum metals in South Africa. Russia, the United States and Canada. In the Canadian Sudbury and the Russian Norilsk deposits the palladium contents are higher than that of platinum. 

The Stillwater deposit in Montana is similar to the Bushveld deposit. Unlike Bushveld the material is richer in palladium than in platinum. The nickel sulfide deposits in Sudbury, Canada, and Norilsk in Russia are important sources of palladium and platinum.
