China gets most of its raw molybdenum from Mongolia

Mongolia was China’s top source of unprocessed molybdenum ore in August, the latest figures from the General Administration of Customs of China show. However, this was less than 10% of China’s total import of 1,982 metric tons of molybdenum ore and concentrate in the month, which was down 67.62% year on year. Of this amount, 1,839 mt consisted of roasted ore and concentrate, while just 143 mt was unprocessed. Mongolia was the source of 107 mt of this.
