There is disclosed a catalyst, which catalyst comprises a physical particle-form mixture of a component a and a component B , said component a comprising at least one group viii noble metal deposed on a solid catalyst support material providing acidic catalytic sites and said component B comprising rhenium or a compound of rhenium deposed on a solid catalyst support material, said catalyst having been prepared by thoroughly blending finely divided particles of component a and component B to provide a thoroughly-blended composite, said finely-divided particles having a particle diameter that is less than 100 mesh (150 microns), and forming said composite into particles having a size that is greater than 100 mesh (150 microns) and being suitable for use in a hydrocarbon conversion reaction zone. The catalyst can be employed in a process for the reforming of a hydrocarbon stream, which process comprises contacting said stream in a reaction zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with said catalyst.
