No — the Bonanza mine (NTVO) is extremely unlikely to contain platinum or palladium.
Let’s unpack why, because the geology makes the answer very clear.

🧭 What type of deposit is Bonanza (NTVO)?
The Bonanza project of Nevada Exploration / Newrange Gold (NTVO) is described as:
- High‑grade gold–silver epithermal veins
- Hosted in volcanic and sedimentary rocks
- Part of the Walker Lane / Nevada epithermal belt
This is a classic low‑sulfidation epithermal gold–silver system.
These systems are globally known for:
- Gold
- Silver
- Sometimes mercury, antimony, arsenic
- Occasionally base metals (lead, zinc)
They are not known for platinum‑group metals
