What is common mineral ore of platinum?

The common mineral ore of platinum is called sperrylite, which is primarily composed of platinum arsenide (PtAs2). Other minerals containing platinum include cooperite (PtS) and laurite (RuS2), which can also be found in platinum-bearing deposits. These ores are typically extracted from alluvial and igneous rock deposits. Platinum is often obtained through complex refining processes due to its rarity and the presence of other metals in the ores.
