The closest I come is with this:
"SUPPLY: South Africa and Russia were the world's leading producers of
platinum group metals in 1998, according to Johnson Matthey Ltd., accounting
for much of the 5 million ounces of platinum, 7.2 million ounces of
palladium and 490,000 ounces of rhodium produced worldwide, as well as other
PGMs."
found here: http://www.amm.com/ref/platgrp.HTM
The number of 7.8 million ounces, world-wide is found again here:

Also, from here, we can find the relative rarity of the different metals:
http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_01/poitras022801.html . It is stated
that palladium is about 2.5 times more abundant than gold.
