<<BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. wrong. there are not plenty of examples of ore grade deposits that produced platinum that are not mafic or ultramafic. there are precisely non. sorry.>>

Unless the mafic part is a trick caveat, despite not being a geologist I know EC is completely wrong here. The Geo's I've spoken with always refer to "ultramafics" with pt. -- never heard them say mafic or ultramafic, and I was told he later is a fancy term for "black". I believe it's rocks rich in iron, magnesium or other dark minerals.

Basically he like Coggins is in denial about hydrothermal pt deposits... even though in part of his previous post where he tried to dazzle us with some science (that sure sounds like someone wrote for him, or he found a book to copy some paragraphs out of)Mr. Chatters himself refered to hydrothermal pt. You can have such without ultramafics.

The critical and very famous example he is ignorant of is of course "Coronation Hill" in Australia.

<<...whose politics the wookies or the purple fringe thetans with the golden sceptre of aueromeias?>>

No, simply the deposit was adjacent to a popular national park.
