Where is samarium cobalt mined?
It is found in samarskite, bastnäzite, monazite among some other minerals.Added:The original mineral form of samarium is samarskite ((Y,Ce,U,Fe)3(Nb,Ta,Ti)5O16).Although samarskite was first found in the Urals in 1853, by the late 1870s a new deposit had been located in North Carolina, and it was from that source that the samarium-bearing didymium had originated.The name of the element is derived from the name of the mineral, and this traces back to the name Vasili Samarsky-Bykhovets, Chief of Staff (Colonel) of the Russian Corps of Mining Engineers in 1845-1861. In this sense samarium was the first chemical element to be named after a living person.

How can you find out how Samarium is made?
Samarium is never found free in nature, but, like other rare earth elements, is contained in many minerals, including monazite, bastnasite and samarskite: monazite (in which it occurs up to an extent of 2.8%) and bastnasite are also used as commercial sources. Misch metal containing about 1% of samarium has long been used, but it was not until recent years that relatively pure samarium has been isolated through ion exchange processes, solvent extraction techniques, and electrochemical deposition. The metal is often prepared by electrolysis of a molten mixture of samarium chloride with sodium chloride or calcium chloride. Samarium can also be obtained by reducing its oxide with lanthanum. wikepediahttp://www.answers.com/topic/samarium-iii-chloride
