In 1874 the output of cobalt from European deposits was surpassed by production in New Caledonia, and Canadian ores assumed the leadership about 1905. Congo (Kinshasa) has been a dominant world producer since 1920. In the early 21st century, China was the leading producer of refined cobalt, most of which originated in Congo (Kinshasa). Other important producers …

Union Minière's DRC cobalt mine production in Katanga increased from 1925 (273 t) through 1930 (755 t), only to fall 61% in 1931 and remain around 200–300 tpa due to low …

Cobalt is commonly mined as a by-product of copper or nickel, although small-scale artisanal mining has become an increasingly common method of extraction, particularly in the DRC. ... Congo accounted for more …

The KFM copper-cobalt mine is one of the world's largest and highest-grade undeveloped copper-cobalt projects. Located in the Central African copper-cobalt belt in the DRC, KFM enjoys synergy with TFM copper-cobalt mine, one of the existing assets of CMOC, in development and operations with a distance of 33 km between the two sites.

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.

Finally, preliminary industrial production study and economic accounting proved the industrial feasibility of the process, which can achieve efficient and selective extraction of cobalt and copper ...

Over the five years to 2022, production from Zambia decreased by a CAGR of 33.8% and is expected to rise by a CAGR of 7% between 2023 and 2027. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of this market in its Global Cobalt Mining to 2030 report.
