	Cobalt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metallic cobalt commonly presents a mixture of two crystallographic structures hcp and fcc with a transition temperature hcp→fcc of 722 K. Common oxidation states of cobalt include +2, and +3, though +1 is also seen.
		Cobalt is not found as a free metal and is 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.

	Cobalt in the environment
		Cobalt and its salts are used in a variety of processes - to make superalloys which maintain their strength at high temperatures; as a paint drier; as a ground coat for porcelain enameling used on steel bathroom fixtures and large appliances; and as an ingredient of coloured pigments.
		Cobalt did not cause cancer in animals that were exposed to it in the air, in food, or in drinking water.
		Where cobalt concentrations in soil are greater than 40 ppm, and cobalt toxicity to vegetation is suspected, cobalt uptake into plants can be reduced by liming the soil and by incorporating uncontaminated soil, peat moss, compost or manure into the soil.

	Cobalt mining camp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The ores found in 1903 at what is now the town of Cobalt, about 500km north of Toronto near the Quebec border, were rich in silver, but they also contained cobalt and other elements.
		Output from the Cobalt camp peaked about 1910, but the success of mining there encouraged extensive prospecting throughout adjacent regions in Ontario and north-western Quebec and some of the fortunes made there helped finance other important mining operations such as the gold mines at Porcupine and Kirkland Lake.
		Cobalt is consequently often credited with being the "cradle of the Canadian mining industry".

	AppleLuscious Organic Orchards
		Growing up in Cobalt, Ontario, a small silver mining town in Northern Ontario, children we were exposed to nature and tended to spend the day outside hiking in the woods, swimming, exploring, looking for mineral specimens, exploring the old mine ruins, head frames or shafts and playing sports.
		With all the millions of dollars of silver removed from Cobalt, now that most mines are closed, very little is left to benefit the town for all that extracted wealth.
		Dad often launched into a tirade against the destruction of the mining headframes in Cobalt as tourism seemed to be the only economic hope left for Cobalt.

	Latchford
		Histories of northern Ontario settlement rarely mention the little town, even though its Tri-Town neighbours to the north often merit chapters in such memoirs, but such slights overlook the importance this small town once played in the early development of “New Ontario”.
		The original Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway (as it was called until 1946) survey of 1903 notes that crossing the river at this site allowed the easiest grades to be incorporated in the building of a rail-link between North Bay and the waters of Lake Temiskaming, another 20 miles to the north.
		Although the railway allowed easy access to the Cobalt area, the area of Elk Lake and Gowganda, located on the Montreal River to the north, was inaccessible except by boat, and the majority of the 10,000 prospectors and miners active in that area were arriving due to the steamboat services Latchford provided.

		Miners called these colorful minerals "cobalt blooms" and used them as indicators of the presence of cobalt ores, such as cobaltite.

		This site was used for decades for metallurgical investigations and as an Ontario Government assay laboratory and over the years suffered environmental impact from the on-site dumping of lead-bearing wastes and other materials.
		Twelve individual contaminants were considered in the risk assessment: antimony, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, boron and nitrite since these were the parameters that exceeded the MOE's clean-up guidelines.
		For human health, the risks are unacceptable for children coming into contact with the soils and so a recommendation has been made to isolate the wastes/soils by asphalting the surface.
