How is platinum extracted?

Platinum was originally extracted using pneumatic drills and explosives. However, new mechanical and hybrid platinum mining methods are becoming more popular. One method consists of drilling, either with pneumatic drills or newer specialized drilling equipment, and then cleaning the ore from the mine using low-profile vehicles called LHD (load-haul-dump) machines.
