China molybdenum mine was first discovered in the late Qing Dynasty, which was mined on the eve of World War I. At that time, the main mining was some vein type molybdenum ore along the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang and some vein type tungsten mine associated with molybdenum in South China. At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Liaoning Yangjia Zhangzi molybdenum mine was exploited by Japan. The annual output before liberation was only a few tons, at most more than ten tons. After liberation, in order to meet the needs of socialist construction, three major molybdenum industry s (Yangjiazi, Liaoning Province; Jinduicheng, Shaanxi Province; Luanchuan, Henan Province) and a number of small and medium-sized mines have been established successively, many copper mines and tungsten mines also recover associated molybdenum, thus making the annual output of molybdenum concentrate in our country more advanced in the world.
       Molybdenum deposits in Jindui Town, Hua County, Shaanxi Province; Huludao; Jilin; Liaoning; Shanxi; Henan; Fujian; Guangdong; Hunan; Sichuan; Jiangxi; Gansu; Inner Mongolia and other provinces have molybdenum deposits, with large reserves, good development conditions, production occupies an important position in the country. Molybdenite of industrial value is mainly molybdenite.
