Precious Metals have unique properties
that make them highly valuable for society.
They are indispensable materials that enable
innovation and technical progress, environmental
protection and energy saving, and thereby
enhance
the quality of life. Precious metals are
highly
recyclable which means that they can be
recovered
when a product containing these
materials
has
reached the end of its useful life.
They are
components which once having come to
light from
underground can be re-used time and
time again.
