On the recordSeptember 6, 1995
Historically, the National Defense Stockpile was created to provide a supply of strategic materials not available from domestic production or not available in sufficient quantities from domestic production to meet critical military needs. Since the palladium and platinum that is in the stockpile was acquired, the Stillwater Mine in Montana has begun production and, in fact, is the only mine in the world which is a primary palladium producer, platinum representing a secondary metal from that mine. Virtually all other palladium and platinum comes from South Africa and Russia.
