Cobalt

COBALT is found as a by-product of mining and refining NICKEL, SILVER LEAD, COPPER and IRON.

There remains a ‘highly political market’ (which I take to mean business as usual from the trade mags) for COBALT in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

COBALT is used for its blue, green and yellow colourting properties in glass, pottery, tile and enamel, aswell as for magnetic alloys, electroplating, batteries foodstuffs and B12.
