ORONTO – Ironically, Cobalt, Ontario – population 1,100 – was built on silver. Remnants of a boom that transformed the town more than a century ago are everywhere. A mine headframe still protrudes from the roof of the bookstore, which was previously a grocery. The butcher used to toss unwanted bones down an abandoned 350-foot shaft in the middle of the shop floor and keep meat cool in its lowered mine cage.
While the last silver mines closed almost 30 years ago, a global push for the village’s namesake metal is promising to breathe new life into the sleepy town 500 km north of Toronto. The whitish element (which “blooms” pink when exposed to air) was initially ignored by the area’s prospectors and later mined mainly as a by-product of silver. Now, global demand for cobalt, a component in batteries used to power electric cars for automakers from Tesla to Volkswagen, is changing the game.
“This area’s seen more airborne surveys in the last year than in the last hundred,” said Gino Chitaroni, a local prospector and geologist. “Two years ago, if you had a cobalt property you couldn’t give it away. All of a sudden, within six months, everything changed.”
Cobalt, both the town and the metal, are attracting renewed attention as a buffer to rising political risks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which accounted for more than half the world’s 123 000-ton production in 2016, according to Natural Resources Canada. China and Canada were a distant second and third, each contributing roughly 6% of supply, followed by Russia and Australia.
But as concerns grow about country risk in the DRC, even as demand swells, those smaller players stand to benefit.
“Anybody who has cobalt outside the DRC is in a better situation because carmakers are very worried about their supply chains,” said Roger Bell, director of mining research at Hannam & Parters in London. Bell believes the amount of cobalt being used in electric cars could easily double in the next eight to 15 years.
“Even in the most conservative assumptions, you’re looking at maybe a 20% gap between supply and demand for cobalt by 2025.” Stock investors betting on cobalt are already benefiting. First Cobalt Corp., a Canadian miner exploring in the Cobalt area, has soared 90% this year. Cobalt 27 Capital, another miner based in British Columbia, has jumped almost 600%. Neither company has any revenue.
The heightened interest in the metal is evident in Cobalt. Earlier this month, two dozen investors, bankers and hedge fund managers from as far away as Shanghai boarded a chartered plane and then a bus from Toronto through the autumnal splendour of Ontario’s boreal forest. Their host was First Cobalt, a Vancouver-based miner that recently abandoned the Congo in order to secure more land around Cobalt’s old mining camp.
“We’ve got some of the biggest resource companies in the world interested,” said Trent Mell, First Cobalt’s CEO, fresh from eight weeks of travel through the US, Europe, Australia and Asia pitching his company to investors. Given that early prospectors more or less tripped over the abundant silver deposits, the area is largely a blank slate when it comes to proper exploration, he said.
Although cobalt was later extracted from the area, notably by Toronto-based Agnico Eagle Mines until the late 1980s, Mell believes much remains undiscovered, particularly at the site of failed silver mines.
Both metals are even part of Agnico’s name, which comes from the periodic table symbols for silver (Ag), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co).
Yet it was silver that first drew prospectors to Cobalt 115 years ago. Contractors looking for lumber to expand the Canadian railroad discovered visible silver in the loose rock. Within two years, 600 prospecting licences had been issued and by 1907, that had swelled to almost 10 000, according to records housed in the Cobalt Mining Museum.
The newly born town was simultaneously cosmopolitan and raucous: while mine owners enjoyed an opera house and a gentlemen’s club, their employees let off steam at “blind pigs,” illegal watering holes named for the unfortunate animals on which bootlegged alcohol was tested.
Fortunes were made with little mining expertise because rich silver deposits lay so close to surface. In 1911 alone, more than 31.5-million ounces of silver were pulled out of the “camp,” roughly one-eighth of the world’s production, according to a book on the area written by historian Doug Baldwin.
Speaking to Toronto’s Empire Club in 1909, the book recounts, Reverend Cannon Tucker told of a widely travelled American who, asked where Toronto was, replied: “Oh yes, that is the place where you change trains for Cobalt.”
Today, the remains of those heady days are still visible in the crumbled foundations, capped mine shafts and piles of waste rock scattered in back yards throughout the town. More than 420-million ounces of silver came out of the Cobalt camp during its first 60 years and the town is built on a “honeycomb” of old mining tunnels and trenches, according to its mayor, Tina Sartoretto.
“The main road coming into town caved in a few years ago,” she said during a driving tour of the town. Inhabitants can’t drink the water in nearby Cobalt Lake, and a shaft in the disused public school was only recently capped. “The town is built on old mining residue.”
Sartoretto is hoping the renewed demand for cobalt will inject some economic life into her impoverished town. With no industrial base to speak of, the town struggles to survive on legacy endowments from past silver and cobalt miners Agnico and Teck Resources.
Sartoretto’s hope is that future mining will include plans for sustainable economic development tied to the metal. “If you were producing cobalt here, it would be nice if you could produce batteries here,” she said.
Depending on how First Cobalt’s exploration unfolds, the landscape in and around the town could be altered yet again. The company’s vision is for at least one open pit mine over a kilometer wide, said Frank Santaguida, First Cobalt’s VP of exploration.
“Someday, that hill will likely be an openpit,” Chitaroni predicted, pointing to the far side of Cobalt Lake, where previously mined rock looms over a baseball diamond. The land currently belongs to Agnico, which hasn’t mined the area since 1989. “I wish they’d get proactive and drill off the damn thing.”
The Toronto-based company, which is focused on gold, does remediation in the area and has no plans for exploration, said Dale Coffin, an Agnico spokesperson. Where Agnico doesn’t have claims, interest is building. Prospectors regularly come into the bookstore, hoping to discover old mine maps and surveys. Chitaroni is always on hand to tick off the advantages of Cobalt compared with more remote mining jurisdictions, including access to power, hydro and expertise.
“We call it Tim Hortons’s exploration,” he said, referring to the convenience of the ubiquitous Canadian doughnut-and-coffee chain, which has a store near Cobalt. “If you’ve got a breakdown, in half an hour, I’ve got parts. Try doing that in the Congo.” EDITED BY: CREAMER MEDIA REPORTER

コバルト国際相場、5カ月続伸
12月1週のレアメタル国際相場は弱含み。米国大統領選や利上げ観測を材料にベースメタルを含む多くのマーケット商品が高騰する中、レアメタルは弱基調で推移している。多くの鉱種でサプライヤーの生産調整などによって供給が絞られているが、電池向けで引き合いのあるコバルトを除き、実需の低迷が色濃く相場は頭打ちの傾向にある。
コバルト（純度99・3％）はポンド13・7ドルへと5カ月連続で上昇。車載用などが本格的に立ち上がってきたリチウムイオン電池需要を背景に、1年4カ月ぶりの高値を付けている。「中国の顔料市場で在庫余剰気味になってきた」（レアメタル商社）とも言われるが、レアメタル中では最も値動きが安定している。 ...

リチウムイオン２次電池の材料などに使われるレアメタル（希少金属）、コバルトの国際価格が急上昇している。２カ月前より16％高い。電気自動車（ＥＶ）向けの電池需要が拡大する一方で、供給量は減少している。車載用電池向けレアメタルでは、リチウムも高値が続いている。レアメタル需要は総じて低迷しているが、電池向けは好調な需要が続きそうだ。

＊日本ではコバルトはリチウムイオン電池など二次電池の需要が7割を占め最も多い。最大の生産地であるコンゴの情勢が不安定なため、コバルトの価格は昔からコンゴの情勢に左右されてきた。このため供給に不安があり日本では消費量の60日分が国家備蓄されている。コバルトは昔から知られる金属で、強い磁気を持ち、また綺麗な青色になるためガラスに使われコバルトブルーという言葉もある。

コバルト価格長期チャート
コバルト１オンス(oz)あたりの価格が何ドルかを表示。１オンスは約３１グラム。
コバルト＝cobalt(元素記号:Co)
リチウムイオン電池などの二次電池の材料として使われる量が一番多い。他に特殊鋼や磁石の材料にも使われる。ニッケルの副産物として生産されるためニッケル生産の影響を受けやすい。生産はコンゴ民主共和国（DRC）が約50%を占め、供給に不安がある。需要は、中国と日本がそれぞれ約3割づつ。生産はおよそ年間5万トン強。市場規模が小さく、Metal Bulletinという雑誌に載る地金価格が価格指標になっているが、2010年にLME(ロンドン金属取引所)でコバルトの取引が開始されている。

ゴーストタウンだったカナダの「コバルト」、ＥＶブームで活気づく
Danielle Bochove
2017年11月1日 11:58 JST
カナダ・オンタリオ州トロントの北方約500キロメートルにある人口約1100人の町、コバルトはかつては銀の採掘が主要産業だった。
100年余り前に町を変容させたブームの名残はそこここに残っている。鉱山の巻き上げやぐらは、かつて食料品店だった書店の屋根から突き出ているように見える。食肉店は不要な骨を店の床の真ん中にある立て坑に捨てていたし、鉱山のケージで肉を冷蔵している。

最後の銀鉱山が約30年前に閉鎖されたものの、町の名前の由来にもなっている金属、コバルトの需要が世界的に高まり、この町に活気が戻りつつある。もともとこの地域の採掘者らはコバルトに関心はなく、後に主に銀の副産物として採掘されていた。今では、コバルトは米テスラやドイツのフォルクスワーゲン（ＶＷ）などの自動車メーカーが製造する電気自動車（ＥＶ）の電池に利用され、世界的に需要が拡大していることから状況が一変している。

コバルトで「コバルトラッシュ」が起こっているからだ。
「この地域では過去100年より過去１年間の方が航空探査が盛んだ。２年前にはコバルトの埋蔵地を保有していても売ることはできなかった。突然、半年たたないうちに全てが変わった」。地元の採掘者で地質学者のジノ・チタロニ氏はそう語る。

コンゴ（旧ザイール）での政治的リスクの高まりに備えて、コバルトという町と金属に対する関心が再び高まっている。ナチュラル・リソーシズ・カナダによれば、コンゴは昨年、世界のコバルト生産12万3000トンのうち半分以上を占めた。中国は２位、カナダは３位だが、世界の生産に占める割合はそれぞれ６％程度。ロシアとオーストラリアがそれに続く。コンゴのカントリーリスクに対する懸念が高まっているため、需要が膨らむ中でコンゴ以外の生産国が恩恵を受けそうだ。

ハンナム・アンド・パートナーズ（ロンドン）の鉱業調査ディレクター、ロジャー・ベル氏は「自動車メーカーがサプライチェーンについて非常に心配しているため、コンゴ以外のコバルト埋蔵国の状況は良い方向に向かっている」と指摘。ＥＶに利用されるコバルトの量は向こう８－15年間に優に倍増すると予想する。「最も控えめにみても、コバルトの供給と需要との差は2025年までに20％に達する可能性がある」との見方を示した。
