Abstract | Platinum has been carving the way to people during some millenniums. The rich platinum-bearing placer deposits in the Middle Ural have been opened and explored only thanks to insistance of Ural pioneers, whose names are mentioned in this paper and some of the name are still unknown. As a result, platinum escapes from nonexistence and takes stand with dignity at the royal place among precious metals. Now platinum is really more expensive than gold. And platinum nuggets of the Diamond Fund are invaluable. |
