A multi layered value chain Unlike other metals, cobalt is rarely found in its pure form. A small quantity is produced specifically from one of a number of metallic-lustered ores, such as cobaltite (CoAsS). However, the vast majority comes from ore usually produced as a by-product of copper and nickel mining.

Cobalt is present in many rocks, soils and sea water in very low concentration and exploitable deposits occur only in a few places. As a result cobalt-containing ores are not mined primarily for their cobalt content, but rather cobalt is produced as a by-product, particularly from the production of copper, nickel, silver, gold, lead, and zinc. The cobalt minerals which are exploited mostly …

About half of the global mine production of cobalt comes from the layered sedimentary cobalt-copper ore deposits of central Africa. The deposits usually consist of a weathered surface cap over unweathered sulfide ore below. The host rock is usually siliceous dolomite. As-mined oxide ores typically contain 0.3%-0.5% Co and 3%-5% Cu. The “oxide” cap is usually mined first. …
