This requires the elements to be collected and concentrated by some phase and for them to be deposited close to the surface of the earth. At the oxygen fugacities found in the crust, native Fe is not normally stable and thus the highly siderophile elements (defined as Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au) cannot behave as siderophile...
