The results from these holes indicated an extensive area of PGM PGM Program PGM Pragmatic General Multicast PGM Phosphoglucomutase PgM Program Manager PGM Platinum Group Metal PGM Pagemaker (software) PGM Portable Gray Map PGM Precision Guided Munition mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. , with more than 50% of the assays containing PGM values, including some high grade intercepts as the drilling progressed toward the VEZ target (see press releases dated September 16, 2002 and October 10, 2002). The geologic information obtained from Phase I has helped in the characterization of the mineralogy mineralogy Scientific study of minerals, including their physical properties, chemical composition, internal crystal structure, occurrence and distribution in nature, and origins or conditions of formation. and in the identification of drill site locations for the VEZ target.
