8 179 APPENDIX FOUR 1. North America Canada 14 PRINCIPAL PRODUCERS OF COBALT (i) Sherrit Gordon Mines, Saskatchewan - a primary producer, formerly mainly from the Lynn Lake mine, but also treating concentrates from sundry sources including South Africa- (ii) International Nickel Company of Canada Ltd. - a primary producer of a white metal matte at Port Colbourne, shipped South Wales for refining. ( ill) Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. - a primary producer, mostly shipped to Kristiansand, Norway United States Amax Nickel Inc. - operating the Port Nickel refinery in Louisiana using imported concentrate Pikwe and Zaire. 2. Europe Belgium id mattes from various sources including Selebi- Metallurgie Hoboken-Overpelt S.A. - smelters and refiners using concentrates and mattes from Gecamines S.A. in Zaire. Finland Outokumpu Oy - primary producer as uell as refiner using pyritic concentrates from the Outokumpu mine with reserves from the Vuonos mine. France Pechiney Ugine Kuhlmann - smelters and refiners using concentrates largely from Morocco and New Caledonia. West Germany (i) Duisberger Kupferhutte (ii) Gesellsnhaft ftir Electrometallurgie ( iii) Herman C. Starck GmbH. All three companies use imported concentrates or mattes. Duisber-Q Kupferhutte make use of a wide variety of pyrite residues from Cyprus, Finland, Norway, Spain and Sweden from which various metals are recovered. Norway Falconbridge Nikkei A/S - Kristiansand, operating mainly on nickel-copper- cobalt matt from Falconbridge, Ontario, occasionally supplemented by concentrates from Kilembe in Uganda (if available) 1

9 United Kingdom International Nickel Ltd. - refining matte from the Port Colborne works in Ontario, shipped to Glybach, South Wales. 3. Asia U.5.5.R. Principal production is from the Norilsk combine, Pechenga and Monchegorsk copper-nickel sulphide deposits, but several of the cupriferous pyrite deposits of the Urals region also produce cobalt concentrates. The Khovuasky deposit, close to the border of Siberia and Mongolia is one of the few mines in which cobalt is the primary product. Japan (i) Nippon Mining Company - using concentrates from Australia. (ii) Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. - using a nickel/cobalt slurry from the Marinduque Mining Co. on the Nonuc Island in the Phillipines 4. Oceania (i) Broken Hill - small production from zinc concentrates. (ii) Western Mining Corp. - production from nickel/cobalt concentrates from Kamabalda, at Kivinana refinery. ( iii) Great Boulder Mines Ltd. - cobalt produced from nickel concentrates from the Scotia mine. (iv) Freeport Queensland Nickel Inc. - joint venture between Freeport Minerals and Metals Exploration Queensland Ltd. producing cobalt from basically a nickel ore. The ore is processed at Vabulu near Townsville and the cobalt, in crude form,exported mainly to Japan. Indonesia P T Pacific Nikkei Indonesia Ltd. New Caledonia (i) Penamax - joint venture between Amax and Pennarroya to work la te rite nickel/cobalt deposits, the matte sent for refining at the Port Nickel refinery in Louisiana. (ii) Societe le Nickel - cobalt matte and concentrates from la te ritic ores exported mainly to France. Phillipines (i) Marinduque Mining and Industrial Corp. - primary producer at Surigao mine, Nonoc Island exporting to Japan, although pure cobalt maybe produced at Surigao using the Sheritt Gordon process. (ii) Acoje Mining Co. - Zambales Province with very small output.

10 5. Africa Morocco Companie de Tifnout Tiranimine - operates Bou Azzer and Graara mines as primary producers. Originally developed with Soviet aid but now operating under French control. Concentrates exported to Belgium, France and China Reserves are limited. Botswana Botswana Concessions Ltd. - operating the Selebi-Pikwe nickel/copper mine, sending matte to the Amax refinery at Port Nickel, Louisiana. Uganda Kilembe Copper Cobalt Ltd. - since nationalisation in 1975 production has declined but concentrates have occasionally been sent to Norway. Zaire La Genersle des Carriers et des Mines (Gecamines) - formerly Union Miniere du Haut-Katanga. Main production is from Tenke-Fungurume, Kolwezi, Dikluwe and.mashamba mines. Cobalt is produced as white metal (matte), red alloy (copper-cobalt) and slags which are exported to Belgium. Electrolytic cobalt is produced from leaching concentrates at the Jadotville-Shituru refinery. Zimbabwe Empress Nickel Mines Ltd. South Africa Cobalt production is discussed in detail in section Latin America and the Caribbean Cuba Cubaniquel - cobalt is produced in the Driente Province at Nicaro and Moa Bay. Prior ro nationalisation in 1960 the concentrates were shipped to the Port Nickel refinery, owned then by Freeport Sulphur Corporation.
