INTERVIEW-Russian Norilsk still supplying palladium
By Aleksandras Budrys, MOSCOW, Jan 25 (Reuters).

"But Norilsk is only a producer, not an exporter. Almazjuvelirexport is the only Russian agency to export precious metals, and is fiercely secretive about its activities.
----snip----
"rivalry...between the government and the central bank....

"Apart from Norilsk, Russia's only palladium suppliers are the central bank and the state precious metals and gems reserve, Gokhran."

Yes, rhodium is only produced as a by product of platinum-palladium mining, and from copper-nickel ores containing PGEs. The PGEs always occur together, but the ratios of each metal (there are six: platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and iridium) vary a bit between deposits. Rhodium is usually present in very small amounts (less than 0.1 g/T) except in rare and unusual circumstances which are of mineralogical interest only.
