  abstract = {{E}luvial concentration of platinum-group minerals ({PGM}) has developed in the south of {N}ew {C}aledonia, from the weathering of a mafic and ultramafic cumulate. {T}he platinum/palladium ({P}t/{P}d) ratio evolution from the bottom to the top of the weathering profile indicates a chemical mobilization of {P}d in supergene environment. {T}he examination by scanning electron microscopy of the residual {PGM} collected in the weathering profile and their chemical characterization by electronic microprobe show a preservation of the structure and chemical signature (in the core of the grains) of the fresh {PGM}. {T}his clearly demonstrates that the {PGM} studied here are residual and are affected by dissolution process.
