MOLYBDENUM INVESTMENT CHART OVERVIEW
USGS Molybdenum Mine Production and Reserves by Country
USGS Molybdenum Mine Production and Reserves by Country. USGS is the U.S. Geological Survey. Mine production is the molybdenum contained in ore produced during the year, while reserves are the known deposits that can be economically mined under current conditions. Production is shown in metric tons of Mo content and reserves in thousand metric tons of Mo content. The 2025 production figures are estimates, and reserves are narrower than all geological resources. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

- Production is shown in metric tons of Mo content and reserves in thousand metric tons of Mo content. The 2025 production figures are estimates, and reserves are narrower than all geological resources.
USGS World Molybdenum Mine Production History
USGS World Molybdenum Mine Production History. DS140 is the USGS long-term historical statistics series. This chart measures the molybdenum contained in worldwide mine output, not the total weight of the mined rock. The line is useful for seeing how global supply capacity changed over decades. It does not by itself show demand, inventories or prices, and the series currently ends in 2022. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS U.S. Molybdenum Supply History
USGS U.S. Molybdenum Supply History. Shipments are material U.S. producers sell, export or transfer, so they can differ from mine production. Apparent consumption is calculated from production, trade and stock changes, not a survey of every final user. Early years contain many blank trade, shipment or stock cells because the historical source did not report a comparable value. A blank is not zero and is not filled by interpolation.

USGS U.S. Molybdenum Unit Value History
USGS U.S. Molybdenum Unit Value History. Unit value is the average value per metric ton in USGS history, not necessarily a spot or exchange quote. Nominal values use each year's dollars; real 1998 values remove general inflation. Comparing nominal and inflation-adjusted lines helps separate a real gain from a rise caused by money losing value. Product grade and contract terms can still differ from market quotations. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS Recent U.S. Molybdenum Supply and Demand
USGS Recent U.S. Molybdenum Supply and Demand. Reported consumption is the amount surveyed processors report. Apparent consumption is calculated from U.S. supply, trade and stock changes. Primary products include processed forms such as oxide and ferromolybdenum. Molybdic oxide is a common intermediate used to make molybdenum metal and alloy additions; its price is shown separately in USD per kilogram. The 2025 quantities are estimates and the panels should not be added together. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS U.S. Molybdenum Import Sources
USGS U.S. Molybdenum Import Sources. Ferromolybdenum is an iron–molybdenum alloy added mainly to steel. Ore and concentrates are mined material upgraded before further processing, so the two source groups describe different stages of the supply chain. Each panel shows the average 2021–24 share of U.S. imports for that product group. Ferromolybdenum, ore and concentrates, and total molybdenum each form their own 100% comparison and are not combined into one ranking.

USGS Monthly U.S. Molybdenum Production and Shipments
USGS Monthly U.S. Molybdenum Production and Shipments. Production is the molybdenum content recovered by U.S. mines and plants. Shipments are the amount sold, exported or transferred, so inventory timing can make shipments higher or lower than production in a month. Both lines use metric tons of contained molybdenum, not gross ore weight. Monthly figures are useful for recent direction but can be revised and are more volatile than annual totals.

USGS Monthly U.S. Molybdenum Trade by Product
USGS Monthly U.S. Molybdenum Trade by Product. Ore and concentrates are upgraded mined material; ferromolybdenum is an iron–molybdenum alloy; scrap is recyclable material. Imports use contained Mo, while ore exports from April 2025 use gross product weight. Customs value is the declared dollar value of selected imports, not a metal price. January–March 2025 ore exports stay blank because the source used a different content basis; unlike definitions are not joined.
