Has anyone found out how to obtain platinum from the thermal mods? I have yet to ever see any platinum ore. Do i need a mod that adds platinum or what?

Yea but i havent even seen Iridium. It shows both ores in JEI but havent found either. I have done extensive branch mining even down to Y 1 flat bedrock.
1) Check your CoFH World config file to determine if Platinum ore is set to spawn.
2) If not, don't worry. Pulverizing Nickel has a chance of producing a platinum as a bonus. Induction smelting with Cinnabar gives the best percentage. Secondary filter upgrades might also help.

Silk touch Redstone ore.
Pulverize it to get 12 Redstone and 1 cinnabar.
Induction smelt all nickel bore with a cinnabar to get 3 nickel and one platinum.
I usually then immediately grind the ingot, mix it with silver tin and ender for enderium.

I can't overemphasise how useful @Cpt_gloval's tip is here. When something is as hard to get as platinum can be, you want to make the most of what you can get - and a guaranteed platinum for every nickel ore (and cinnabar) is nothing to be sniffed at. Save up your cinnabar and use it for this - its worth it.
Likewise, if you DO find any platinum ore, you'll want to make the most of it - the pyro-concentrator augment for the Induction Smelter should (if memory serves) guarantee you one more ingot than you'd otherwise get - so in the case of cinnabar/rich slag smelting, instead of the usual 3 ingots of the main metal, you will get 4.
EDIT: Looking at the Team CoFH website, the drop rate of redstone may have gone down to 6 and a 25% of cinnabar with a pulveriser - though that doesn't count augments. Also (again from the website) @Daihok's experience isn't unusual - it looks like platinum ore may not be set to spawn in default configs.

Sweet thanks again for the help guys. Found on reddit how to add the ore gen to config but think will leave it as intended to make it harder.
In my beyond world, I found an obsidian capsule filled with shiny and irridium ore
