ELECTRICAL PULSE DISAGGREGATION AND HYDROSEPARATION - OPTIMAL METHODOLOGY FOR DISCOVERING NEW PLATINUM GROUP MINERALS IN PRIMARY ROCKS
A new methodology - electrical impulse disintegration of ore + hydroseparation of material + high-tech mineralogical studies in single-layer polished thin sections of "heavy" concentrates - is considered in relation to the discoveries of new platinum group minerals (PGM) contained in bedrocks. Examples are considered -eight such new PGMs.
