4 Corners Plagiarized Content

4 Corners “Product”: Book 1, unattributed sources

Gold section: plagiarized straight from Wikipedia with no attribution, available freely online:

Four corners:
But Indium Corporation, the largest processor of
indium, claims that, on the basis of increasing recovery
yields during extraction, recovery from a wider range of base
metals (including tin, copper and other poly-metallic
deposits) and new mining investments, the long-term supply
of indium is sustainable, reliable and sufficient to meet
increasing future demands.

Platinum section: Plagiarized with no attribution from the Wikipedia article, available freely online:

Four Corners:
Platinum is traded on the New York
Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the London Platinum
and Palladium Market. To be saleable on most commodity
markets, platinum ingots must be assayed and hallmarked in
a manner similar to the way gold and silver are.

Ruthenium section: Plagiarized from wikipedia.com, no attribution, minor wording changes:

Four corners:
Ruthenium dioxide and lead and bismuth “ruthenates” are used in thick-film chip resistors. These
electronic applications account for 50 percent of the ruthenium consumption.

Iridium Section: verbatim plagiarized from conspirazzi.com, no attribution:

Four Corners:
Iridium is the densest known terrestrial substance at 22.65 grams/cm3. That’s twice the density of lead
or 8 times that of granite. A cube of iridium 6 inches on a side would weigh as much as an average adult
human. Whether iridium warrants an investment as such requires a thorough scientific analysis of its
future uses.

Conspirazzi.com:
Precious metals are heavy. Iridium is the densest known terrestrial substance at 22.65 grams/cm3.
That’s twice the density of lead or 8 times that of granite. A cube of iridium 6 inches on a side (15 cm)
would weigh as much as an average adult human.

Rhodium section: plagiarized from seekingalpha.com, no attribution, available freely online.

Four Corners:
Rhodium is not a commodity suitable for most investors. The market is very thin and its supply and
demand characteristics are based to a large extent on the prices for platinum and palladium because it is
mined as a byproduct with those metals. You are not likely to find a company searching for rhodium
alone.

SeekingAlpha.com:
It could, but that doesn’t make it a good investment idea. The market is very thin and rhodium
is not a commodity suitable for most investors. There are three reasons why.
You won’t find many companies that specialize in “rhodium mining” because nobody really
goes looking for the stuff

Palladium section: plagiarized from Wikipedia, words and sentence order changed, no attribution.

Four corners:
Ore deposits of palladium are rare.
The most extensive deposits have
been found in the Transvaal Basin in South Africa, the
Stillwater Complex in Montana, the Thunder Bay District of
Ontario, and the Norilsk Complex in Russia. Recycling is
also a source of palladium, mostly from scrapped catalytic
converters.

Wikipedia:
Ore deposits of palladium and other PGMs are rare, and the most extensive deposits have been found in
the norite belt of the Bushveld Igneous Complex covering the Transvaal Basin in South Africa, the Stillwater
Complex in Montana, United States, the Thunder Bay District of Ontario, Canada, and the Norilsk
Complex in Russia. Recycling is also a source of palladium, mostly from scrapped catalytic converters.

Silver section: plagiarized, unattributed, available free online

Four corners:
Like most commodities, the price of silver is driven by speculation and supply and demand. Compared to
gold, the silver price is notoriously volatile. This is because of lower market liquidity, and demand
fluctuations between industrial and store of value uses. At times this can cause wide ranging valuations
in the market, creating volatility, according to market records

Rhenium - plagiarized, minor wording changes

4 Corners:
Nickel-based super alloys of rhenium are used in the combustion chambers, turbine blades, and exhaust
nozzles of jet engines. These alloys contain up to 6 percent rhenium, making jet engine construction the
largest single use for the element, with the chemical industry's catalytic uses being next-most important.
Because of the low availability relative to demand, rhenium is among the most expensive of metals, with
an average price of approximately $4,575 per kilogram ($142.30 per troy ounce), according to
MetalPrices.com. It is also of critical strategic military importance, for its use in high performance
military jet and rocket engines

Because of the low availability relative to demand, rhenium is among the most expensive of metals, with

engines.[3]

Osmium - plagiarized verbatim from "The Elements" by Pedro Oliveira - available online through Google
Books

Four corners:
Because of the volatility and extreme toxicity of its oxide, osmium is rarely used in its pure state, and is
instead often alloyed with other metals. Those alloys are utilized in high-wear applications.
