- Cobalt is a brittle,
hard metal, resembling iron and nickel in appearance. It has a metallic
permeability of about two thirds that of iron. Cobalt tends to exist as
a mixture of two allotropes over a wide temperature range. The
transformation is sluggish and accounts in part for the wide variation
in reported data on physical properties of cobalt
- The origin of the
name Cobalt is thought to be from the German kobold for "evil spirits or
goblins", who were superstitiously thought to cause trouble for miners,
since the mineral contained arsenic which injured their health and the
metallic ores did not yield metals when treated with the normal methods.
The name could also be derived from the Greek kobalos for "mine". Cobalt
was discovered in 1735 by the Swedish chemist Georg Brandt.
- The process through
which occurrences of cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts and polymetallic
sulphides in the Area may be converted to commercially exploitable
deposits; Technological issues associated with commercializing
cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts and polymetallic sulphide deposits in
the Area; Economic and financial issues associated with commercializing
cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts and polymetallic sulphide deposits in
the Area; The market outlook for the base and Precious metals to be
found in these two potential ores;
- The technology for
producing the cobalt-60 isotope was developed by MDS Nordion and Atomic
Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) almost 55 years ago using research
reactors at the AECL Chalk River Laboratories.
- Murrin Murrin is a
world-class hydrometallurgical project, using sulphuric acid in
high-temperature, high-pressure autoclave vessels to aggressively leach
nickel and cobalt from low-grade lateritic (oxidised) ores.
Hydrometallurgical processing offers significant environmental benefits
compared to traditional pyrometallurgical processes, such as smelting,
and much of the energy, heat and consumables used in the Murrin Murrin
are recycled
- Innovative
technological solutions has enabled the Fort Saskatchewan refinery to
address production-limiting factors, achieve incremental production
gains and process record quantities of cobalt contained in feeds.
Autoclaves conduct chemical reactions at elevated pressures in order to
extract and recover metals from metal-bearing feed materials. The
advantages of hydrometallurgical processes, in comparison with
conventional pyrometallurgical smelting processes, are that it requires
lower capital costs, does not emit sulphur dioxide, and substantially
all metal and chemical agents are recovered for sale.
- The ore from the mine
will be transported by large trucks along unpaved mine roads to the
proposed on-site mineral processing plant. The plant is proposed to be
located as close as possible to the mine and in an area where there are
not many people living. The mineral processing plant will include a
crusher, a sulphuric acid plant and an acid leach plant. It will be able
to produce at least 40,000 tonnes per year of copper and also recover
cobalt. Alternative analyses will be done to determine whether the
cobalt will be recovered as pure metal or as an intermediate product.
- Cobalt prices have
risen by around 250% and 350% from the recent cyclical lows and the
prices were trading around $15,500/tonne ($7/lb) and $28/lb
respectively. The seeds of the bull market . although at the time
developments suggested that they would have the reverse effect.
- World cobalt
production continued to increased . Demand remained strong, but the free
market cobalt price decreased to approximately $21.50 per pound by year
end.
- Market sentiment
shifted from concern about availability to forecasts of potential
oversupply as future production increased at a faster rate than demand.
