Raw Materials

Mineral raw materials include mined ores and concentrates produced through beneficiation.

About Molybdenum

Molybdenum is principally an alloying element in steel, cast iron and superalloys, contributing strength, toughness and resistance to wear and corrosion. Ore, concentrate, molybdenum metal and ferromolybdenum are distinct material forms.
