Avhareji yemolybdenum yemukati muPasi pevhu inosvika 0.00011%. Anenge marudzi makumi maviri emaminerari emolybdenum akawanikwa, umo molybdenite ndiyo inonyanya kukosha mumaindasitiri, ichiteverwa netungsten-phase calcium ore, iron platinum ore, molybdenite, neplatinum{4}}copper ore. Zvinoenderana nedata rakaburitswa neUnited States Geological Survey muna 2015, pasi rose molybdenum reserves inosvika 11 miriyoni matani, iine matura angangoita 19.4 miriyoni matani.
Kugoverwa Kwematunhu
Zviwanikwa zvepasi rose zve molybdenum zvakanyanyonangana nechekumabvazuva kwePacific Basin, muAndes, kubva kuAlaska neBritish Columbia kuburikidza neUnited States neMexico kuenda kuChile. Anonyanya kuzivikanwa ndeyeCordillera Makomo muAmerica, ane porphyry molybdenum akawanda uye madhipoziti emhangura. Izvi zvinosanganisira Clemensk uye Henderson porphyry molybdenum deposits muUnited States; madhipoziti eEl Teniente, Chuquicamata, El Salvador, neTespidarca porphyry{2}molybdenum muChile; uye Endaco neHighland Valley porphyry copper-molybdenum deposits muCanada. China zvakare inozvikudza yakawanda molybdenum reserves, neHenan, Shaanxi, uye Jilin matunhu anoverengera 56.5% yehuwandu hwenyika.
National Distribution
Zvinoenderana nedata rakaburitswa neUS Geological Survey muna 2015, pasi rose molybdenum reserves inokwana matani gumi nerimwe. China ndiyo nyika yakapfuma pasi rose mune zviwanikwa zvemolybdenum, ine matani 4.3 miriyoni, ichiteverwa neUnited States (2.7 miriyoni matani) neChile (1.8 miriyoni matani). Pamwe chete, nyika nhatu idzi dzinotora 80% yehuwandu hwepasi rose. Dzimwe nyika dzine hupfumi hwemolybdenum dzinosanganisira Peru (450,000 matani), Canada (260,000 matani), Russia (250,000 matani), Australia (200,000 matani), Mongolia (160,000 matani), Armenia (150,000 matani), Mexico (130,000 tons, 000,000 tons), Kyrgyzstan (matani 100 000), Turkey (matani 100 000), Uzbekistan (matani 60 000), uye Iran (matani 50 000). Distribution muChina
China ndiyo imwe yenyika dzine hupfumi hwe molybdenum pasi rose. Zvinoenderana nedata rakaburitswa neBazi reNyika neZviwanikwa, pakupera kwa2013, nzvimbo dzekuChina dzakaratidzwa dzemolybdenum dzaive 26.202 miriyoni matani (metal content). Muna 2014, kuChina kwakaratidza kuti molybdenum reserves yakawedzera nemamiriyoni 1.066 ematani (metal content), zvichiita kuti huwandu husvike 27.268 mamiriyoni ematani (metal content). Zvakare, kubva muna 2011, China yakawana madhipoziti matsva matatu{{10}mamiriyoni-matani emolybdenum, kusanganisira imwe muShapinggou, mudunhu reAnhui, ichisimbisa chinzvimbo chayo senyika huru pasi rose ine zviwanikwa zvemolybdenum.
