Tungsten Molybdenum in China

Pure tungsen is similar to pure molybdenum in properties, and most of the alloys can be added, such tungsten lanthanum to molybdenum lanthanum. China owns most of tungsten ores around the world, and the one we would like to mention is China is also the biggest producer of molybdenum, which is statistics from the US Geological Survey (USGS).

China

Mine production: 100,000 tonnes

China produces the vast majority of the world's moly, and despite a 1,000-tonne drop in production between 2014 and 2015, the country remains the globe's biggest producer by a large margin.

The Asian country's massive economy includes a giant industrial sector, and it is keen to limit its reliance on western mine output. By producing the moly needed to keep its industrial capacity strong, China avoids overpaying for imported metal. In years past, the country leveraged its position as the top moly producer by limiting exports of the metal, but as mentioned above, that changed in 2015. The full implications of China's more open trade policy for moly remain unclear.
