Umyinge womxholo wemolybdenum kuqweqwe loMhlaba umalunga ne-0.00011%. Malunga neentlobo ezingama-20 zeeminerali ze-molybdenum ezifunyenweyo, apho imolybdenite iyeyona ixabisekileyo kwimizi-mveliso, ilandelwa yi-tungsten{3}}yesigaba se-calcium ore, intsimbi ye-iron platinum, imolybdenite, kunye neplatinam{4}}intsimbi ekrwada yobhedu. Ngokweenkcukacha ezikhutshwe yi-United States Geological Survey ngo-2015, oovimba bemolybdenum behlabathi bamalunga ne-11 lezigidi zeetoni, kunye noovimba abaqinisekisiweyo abamalunga ne-19.4 yezigidi zeetoni.
Ukusasazwa kweNgingqi
Ubutyebi behlabathi bemolybdenum bugxile ikakhulu kumda osempuma wePasifiki Basin, eAndes, ukusuka eAlaska naseBritish Columbia ukunqumla eMelika naseMexico ukuya eChile. Ezona zidumileyo ziiNtaba zeCordillera eMelika, ezibamba intaphane yeporphyry molybdenum kunye needipozithi zobhedu. Ezi ziquka i-Clemensk kunye ne-Henderson porphyry molybdenum deposits e-United States; i-El Teniente, iChuquicamata, El Salvador, kunye neTespidarca porphyry iidiphozithi zobhedu{2}}zemolybdenum eChile; kunye ne-Endaco kunye ne-Highland Valley porphyry copper{3}}iidiphozithi zemolybdenum eCanada. I-China ikwaqhayisa ngoovimba abaninzi be-molybdenum, kunye ne-Henan, i-Shaanxi, kunye ne-Jilin yamaphondo athatha i-56.5% yelizwe lonke.
Ukusasazwa kweSizwe
Ngokweenkcukacha ezikhutshwe yi-US Geological Survey ngo-2015, oovimba bemolybdenum kwihlabathi bebonke bamalunga ne-11 lezigidi zeetoni. I-China lelona lizwe lityebileyo kwihlabathi kwimithombo ye-molybdenum, ene-4.3 yezigidi zeetoni, ilandelwa yi-United States (i-2.7 yezigidi zeetoni) kunye ne-Chile (i-1.8 yezigidi zeetoni). Edibene, la mazwe mathathu athatha malunga nama-80% ewonke jikelele. Amanye amazwe anobutyebi bemolybdenum ngokwentelekiso aquka iPeru (iitoni ezingama-450,000), iKhanada (iitoni ezingama-260,000), iRashiya (iitoni ezingama-250,000), iOstreliya (iitoni ezingama-200,000), iMongolia (iitoni eziyi-160,000), iArmenia (iitoni eziyi-150,000), iMexico (iitoni eziyi-130,000 ukuya kwi-130,000) IKyrgyzstan (iitoni ezili-100 000), iTurkey (iitoni ezili-100 000), iUzbekistan (iitoni ezingama-60 000), neIran (iitoni ezingama-50 000). Ukuhanjiswa eTshayina
I-China lelinye lamazwe anobutyebi be-molybdenum emhlabeni. Ngokutsho kwedatha ekhutshwe nguMphathiswa wezoMhlaba kunye neMithombo, ekupheleni kuka-2013, i-molybdenum yaseChina eqinisekisiweyo yayiyi-26.202 yezigidi zeetoni (umxholo wesinyithi). Ngo-2014, i-molybdenum yase-China eqinisekisiweyo inyuke nge-1.066 yezigidi zeetoni (i-metal content), ikhupha i-27.268 yezigidi zeetoni (umxholo wesinyithi). Ngaphaya koko, ukusukela ngo-2011, i-China ifumene iidipozithi ezintathu ezintsha ze-2{10}}zesigidi seetoni zemolybdenum, kuquka nenye eseShapinggou, kwiPhondo lase-Anhui, iqinisa ngakumbi isikhundla sayo njengelona lizwe likhulu lehlabathi lobutyebi bemolybdenum.
