Cobalt is chemical element with the symbol Co and the number 27. Cobalt like nickel needs to be smelted so that it can be extracted from the composite ores in which it is found. In Australia it is a by-product of copper and nickel mining. Cobalt is a 'rare earth' element that is used in battery manufacturing, and its value has increased markedly since the onset of the EV (electric vehicle) boom in 2016/17. This web site is under construction, but if you would like to buy some cobalt get in touch with Cobalt Blue or Glencore.
