Rhodium Sponge: Kitco offers $500 more for rhodium sponge than for bars, making it a more cost-effective option.
Rhodium Pool: For rhodium held in a Pool-Metal Account, Kitco’s bid price is $200 higher than for bars, making this option the most efficient.

Rhodium is an exceptionally rare platinum group metal, with a concentration of just 0.001 parts per million in the earth's crust—making it far rarer than platinum or gold. To put this in perspective, using time as an analogy, finding 1 minute of rhodium is as difficult as finding 1 minute over 1,900 years!
Around 80% of the world’s rhodium is mined in South Africa, with Russia contributing 12%, Zimbabwe 4%, and North America 3%. Global annual production is only about 30 tonnes, or 1 million troy ounces.
Rhodium’s primary demand comes from the automotive industry, which consumes 80% of global supply. The remaining 20% is used in chemicals, glass, electronics, and jewelry. Investment demand for rhodium remains very limited.
Rhodium bars are becoming increasingly scarce as major producers like Baird & Co. and Pamp Swiss have ceased production. As a result, these bars are becoming more valuable over time.
Kitco guarantees the authenticity of the rhodium bars it offers, through rigorous testing methods such as x-ray and electrical conductivity. For a smooth resale process, be sure to keep your Kitco invoice as proof of purchase.
