In this platinum documentary, we explore platinum mining, science, history, and the future outlook for this truly unique commodity.
As one of the lesser known, but nonetheless vital precious metals, platinum has a long history of being used for jewelry and ornamentation, reaching back to the ancient Egyptian empire, having been discovered on a coffin unearthed in Thebes, estimated to be from the 7th century BC.
Modern day uses of platinum include being a key element in catalytic converters for vehicles , as a catalyst in the chemical industry, and even in the creation of life-saving anti-cancer drugs.
In this platinum documentary, we explore this exclusive metal that befuddled miners and scientists alike when it was first discovered. Dubbed ‘platina’ or ‘little silver’ by the Spanish Conquistadors, the truth is, platinum is so much more than meets the eye.
