gold

Gold is a highly prized mineral because of its attractive color, rarity, resistance to tarnish, and many unique properties. No other element has more uses than gold. All of these factors help support a price of gold that is higher than all but a few other metals. Traces of gold are almost everywhere, but large deposits are rare and only discovered in a few locations.

They occur in hydrothermal veins deposited by ascending solutions, as disseminated particles through some sulfide deposits, and in placer deposits.
The most apparent physical property of gold is its color. It is one of just a few minerals whose names are used frequently in everyday language as the name of a color. The color remains the same and unaltered by tarnish or the development of an oxidized surface. However, the color of gold varies with its composition. The color of gold is not constant.

Diamond

Diamonds are a composition of one single element. They are unique minerals made up of pure crystalline structures from the element carbon. Diamonds are formed under immense heat and pressure below the Earth’s surface, contributing to the mineral’s sparkle and shine.

Since they are only composed of carbon, diamonds are considered allotropes, different structures created from the same single chemical element. It also serves as an essential component in making rubies and sapphires.

Palladium

Palladium is a shiny metal used in many electronic and industrial products. Along with platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium, the metal is part of a group known as platinum group metals.

Dentistry, Jewelry making, surgical instruments, Solar power, fuel cells, and mainly catalytic converters rely on the supply of Palladium. Palladium is one of Several metals starting to be used in fuel cells to power many things, including cars and buses. Palladium is also widely used in catalytic reactions in industry, such as in the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, as well as in jewelry and dental fillings and crowns.

Copper

Copper is a conductor of heat and electricity and acts as a constituent of various metal alloys, such as sterling silver, Cupronickel, Constantan, and Thermocouples in making jewelry, marine hardware, coins, strain gauges, and thermometers, respectively.

It is one of the most important metals for modern industry and, therefore, one of the businesses in which Halston Logistics and Mining Limited operates. Its thermal energy conductive property surpasses that of any other commercially exploited metal. It is malleable, recyclable, and resistant to corrosion and high temperature. It helps in energy generation and transmission, wiring, and almost all electronic equipment – such as TVs and mobile phones.
