Palladium is a rare silvery whit lustrous metal. It is a member of the Platinum Group of elements and shares characteristics with other members of that group. Because palladium is a siderophile (iron loving) element most of it was incorporated in Earth's nickel iron core shortly after the planets formation. Because the surface rocks are depleted in platinum group elements the worlds important commercial sources of them are thought to be derived from either mantle sources or from meteorites. The most important commercial sources are nickel-copper deposits found in the Sudbury Basin,Ontario, the Norilsk-Talnakh deposits in Siberia, and the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa.
