You would probably have to look to South Africa (Bushveld Complex) or Russia (Norilsk Complex) - as they represent the largest producers. As far as I know rhodium is basically a credit from platinum/palladium mining, perhaps PTaskmaster can shed more light on this - there are some potential mines/Bushveld Complex exploration plays listed in Canada (SUF-T, ARQ-V, PTX-T).

Jason: I am unaware of any rhodium plays, and I think DRT pretty much covered the situation in his post #414. I recollect that South Africa supplies more Rh than does Russia, and that the South African grades are two or more times greater than Noril'sk. Stillwater's grades are probably better than any of them. Some of the so-called "desert dirts" (GPGI, and I think also MGAU, MXAM and perhaps others) in the American southwest also claim high Rh grades in their 'head ore'. However they lack arm's length, third party drill core or other assays, and in my opinion do not even qualify as reasonable, speculative pgm plays. Sudbury has very low Rh grades, and this may not bode well for the discovery of rhodium by the current juniors currently exploring in Ontario. Ptask
