Marshhawk,
the US Geological Services has a great site that includes detailed information on most resource commodities. The address of the cobalt data is: minerals.usgs.gov

I am now inclining towards your view that the lateritic nickel projects are not certain to succeed. I previously said the process was not rocket science. That is true of the chemistry side of it. However, I have now discovered that the Murrin Murrin autoclaves work at 250 degrees centigrade and at a pressure of 40 atmospheres. The temperature and pressure are a lot higher than I had assumed from other data. The engineering of the autoclave section is rocket science. Not only is the environment very extreme, but the ore has to be run through the autoclaves at a staggering rate (as a batch process). You are right in questioning if the autoclaves can handle the job.
