General comment Nickel ore refers to the naturally occurring rocks or minerals that contain significant amounts of nickel. Cobalt is present in many rocks, soils and sea water in very low concentration and exploitable deposits occur only in a few places. 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. Nickel and cobalt often occur together in either oxide (laterite) or sulfide ores. Each type of ore is processed differently.
