	Platinum (Pt), is a very heavy silvery-white metal, soft, ductile and resistant to corrosion, with a high melting point. As a chemical element it is one of six platinum metals (Periodic table Groups 8–10, Periods 5 and 6). It is rare and the third most traded precious metal behind gold and silver. Natural platinum is a mixture of six isotopes, all of which are stable except one, which is an alpha emitter.

−	The first confirmed findings of the material were in Río Pinto, Colombia, where it was named as a silver, but it may have also been discovered earlier in Mexico. It is generally found deep underground, in small nuggets, mostly with other metals, such as gold, nickel and copper ores, it is rare to find on its own. As such mining it is a relatively energy and water intensive process, producing large amounts of tailings or waste mining material.

Platinum (Pt), is a very heavy silvery-white metal, soft and ductile, resistant to corrosion and with a high melting. It is a chemical element and one of six platinum metals ( Periodic table Groups 8–10, Periods 5 and 6).

Natural platinum is a mixture of six isotopes, all of which are stable except one, which is an alpha emitter. The first confirmed findings of the material were in Río Pinto, Colombia, where it was named as a silver, but it may have also been discovered earlier in Mexico.

It is generally found deep underground, in small nuggets, mostly with other metals, such as gold, nickel and copper ores, it is rare to find on its own. As such it is a relatively energy and water intensive process producing large amounts of tailings or waste mining material. In the UK Platinum has been found in the outer Hebredes and as such the UK is one of the 5 top exporters, with South Africa and Russia slightly higher and the United States with Germany, slightly lower.

Platinum is also used with reference to anniversaries celebrating 70 years, with gold referenced at 50 years and diamond at 75 years. The year 2022 is celebrated as the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen Elizabeth the second, representing 70 years since she took the throne of England and at the time is the longest standing Monarch of England.

The demand for Platinum, in the past decades has been high, with over 50% being used in catalytic converters for motor vehicles, as well as for computer hard disks and thermocouples. In 2022 stocks out weighed demand, which has resulted in a surplus, perhaps a result of the pandemic during this period. Platinum is used in the chemical and fuel cell industries as a catalyst, aswell as the compounds being used in medicine for chemotherapy drugs. It is also used to make optical fibres and LCDs, turbine blades, spark plugs, pacemakers and dental fillings, as well as its continued used in jewellery making.
