Sphalerite as a non-traditional critical metal source: Correlative microscopy (EPMA, EBSD, and APT) of cobalt-enriched sulfides from the sediment-hosted copper-cobalt Dolostone Ore Formation deposit, Namibia

Sphalerite as a non-traditional critical metal source: Correlative microscopy (EPMA, EBSD, and APT) of cobalt-enriched sulfides from the sediment-hosted copper-cobalt Dolostone Ore Formation deposit, Namibia

Sphalerite from the sediment-hosted Dolostone Ore Formation (DOF) Cu-Co-Zn deposit, in northwestern Namibia, has previously been shown to contain extremely high concentrations of the critical metal Co (up to 1 wt%). These concentrations are the highest reported in sphalerite to date, and the how and...
