A handful of the world's giant copper mines also carry platinum and palladium. They are rarely worth mining on their own — but the story of how they got there is one of the clearest windows we have into how a copper-gold deposit is made. This is that story, told for the curious rather than the credentialled.

As the ASX small-cap market is showing a slowness in hype, is Encounter Resources simply a case the market may be missing the potential value to come.
