Bhubaneswar, June 12: CSIR-IMMT has signed an agreement with OMC Ltd. to develop a technology for the recovery of Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) from low-grade ores of Bangur mines.

The PGEs are strategic minerals essential in fulfilling the socio-economic needs of India.

The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are considered strategic minerals having many unique physical, chemical properties and find wide applications in automobile industries, chemical and petrochemical industries, electronics, glass, jewellery and medical sciences.

What are the Platinum Group Metals and why do they matter?

The platinum group metals (PGMs) are a family of six structurally and chemically similar elements that are most valued for their wide range of industrial, medical, and electronic applications. These versatile metals play a significant role in many of the products we use every day.
