Cobalt is an element that is not found free in nature. It is found in combination with arsenic, and also as a recoverable byproduct of copper and nickel refining because cobalt is "hiding" in those ores. The things we get cobalt from aren't particularly rare, and cobalt is recovered commercially in over a dozen countries. China and Finland are big producers, as are Norway, Canada, Zambia and Russia. A number of other countries produce commercial quantities. The Cobalt Development Institute has a handle on this information, and a link is provided to their resource page.
Cobalt was first discovered in a region known as the Ore Mountains located in present-day Germany. Today, cobalt is primarily mined in countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Canada, and Russia.
Cobalt likes arsenic, and the arsenide is mined to recover cobalt only in Canada and Morocco. There are a number of other locations where cobalt is recovered as a byproduct of copper or nickel production. The metal is not rare, and there are over a dozen countries where cobalt is produced. Open pit mining is the method of the recovery of ore from the ground. In the locations where the mining is done, ore is blased loose, then scooped up, loaded and transported to a mill. There it is crushed and processed. This true whether cobalt arsenide is being recovered or whether copper or nickel are being recovered. Need links? You got 'em.
Cobalt is found in the minerals cobaltite, erythrite, and smaltite. It is commonly associated with ores of iron, nickel, silver, lead, and copper. Cobalt is also found in meteorites.
there is no location for cobalt, it's a type of metal.
The worlds largest suppliers of Cobalt are Zambia, Zaire, Russia and Finland.
I don't know. Ask someone else!!!

Cobalt is primarily found in minerals such as cobaltite, skutterudite, and erythrite. It is often associated with nickel and copper deposits in the Earth's crust. Cobalt can also be found in small quantities in soil, water, and certain plants.
All of these are elements: iron, chromium, cobalt, manganese, and molybdenum.
The common oxidation number for cobalt is +2, found in compounds like cobalt(II) chloride. Cobalt can also exhibit other oxidation states, such as +3 in compounds like cobalt(III) oxide and +4 in compounds like cobalt(IV) fluoride.
Cobalt was first discovered in the Harz Mountains of Germany in the 15th century. Today, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the largest producer of cobalt in the world, followed by countries such as Russia, Australia, and the Philippines.
No, not all steels contain cobalt. Cobalt is a trace element that can be found in some steels, particularly in specialty steels with specific characteristics, but it is not a required element in all steel compositions.

Cobalt is an inorganic transition elemental metal found in the Periodic Table.

it is found in u.s.a only not in the philippines :)
If you are talking about Cobalt-60 being "found" it was in 1938 by Seaborg and Livingood. But Cobalt has been used throughout all history.
The mineral cobalt has been found in the Dinagat province of the Philippines. This province is known for its significant cobalt deposits, particularly in the municipality of Loreto. Mining operations in the region have been focused on extracting cobalt for commercial use.
it found in the moon
the element cobalt is found in veal, liver, clam, turkey, octopus, and lamb
Cobalt is not found as a native metal but generally found in the form of ores. 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. Swedish chemist George Brandt (1694-1768) is credited with isolating cobalt circa 1735. He was able to show that cobalt was the source of the blue color in glass, which previously had been attributed to the bismuth found with cobalt. http://periodic.lanl.gov/elements/27.html
A 2005 Chevy Cobalt has electronic steering, so no pump will be found.
