I'm not familiar w/ cobalt, but materials are rarely 100% pure. One might look at non-cobalt materials associated with the pure material and what ratios they're in? Again not perfect but something.

I think one of the problems is that the cobalt doesn't reach component manufacturers until it's been through a series of smelters/refiners.
