Top 10: World's Biggest Cobalt Mining Companies

It occurs naturally in the Earth's crust, typically alongside copper and nickel deposits. Mining companies extract cobalt through both underground and open-pit methods, often as a by-product of copper and nickel mining. The ore undergoes crushing, grinding and flotation processes to separate cobalt from other minerals.
