Cobalt mining and exploration companies
Cobalt is a hard, lustrous, silver-grey metal, a chemical element with
symbol Co and the atomic number 27. It is found in various ores, and is used
in the preparation of magnetic, wear-resistant, and high-strength alloys.
Pure cobalt is not found in nature, but compounds of cobalt occur naturally
in many forms. Small amounts of it are found in most rocks, soil, water,
plants, and animals. Cobalt is usually not mined alone, and tends to be
produced as a by-product of nickel and copper mining activities. The main
ores of cobalt are cobaltite, erythrite, glaucodot, and skutterudite.
Principal cobalt producing countries include Democratic Republic of the
Congo, Zambia, Canada, Cuba, Australia, and Russia. The identified cobalt
resources in the world total about 15 million tons. The United States uses
about one-third of total world consumption.
It belongs to a group of elements called transition metals. It has magnetic
properties like iron. Cobalt is one of the elements that is very important
to life, including human life and health. In areas where there is little
cobalt in the soil, farmers have to provide salt blocks containing cobalt
for their animals to lick in order to provide enough cobalt in their diet.
Cobalt uses
Cobalt-60 is used for sterilization of medical supplies, and medical
waste; radiation treatment of foods for sterilization;
industrial radiography; density measurements; and tank fill height
switches.
It is also used to help paint dry quickly. Cobalt is also used to make
artificial body parts such as hip and knee joints. Cobalt carbonate is used
in ceramics and as an animal feed supplement in trace amounts. Cobalt
chloride is used as a humidity and water indicator, in electroplating, in
the manufacture of vitamin B-12, as a fertilizer and feed additive in trace
amounts. Cobalt oxide is used in pigments for ceramics and glass, in fast
drying paints and varnishes, in semiconductors, in enamel coatings on steel,
and again as an animal feed additive in trace amounts. Cobalt sulphate is
used in electroplating, in batteries, as a drying agent in inks and
varnishes, in enamels, and ceramics, and as a feed and fertilizer additive.
