Endako Mine
The Endako mine is one of the largest molybdenum mines in North America. The mine is located near Fraser Lake, British Columbia, Canada. The Endako mine has reserves amounting to 448.4 million tonnes of molybdenum ore grading 0.033% molybdenum thus resulting 148,000 tonnes of molybdenum. The mine suspended production in 2015 "due to recent and expected ongoing weakness in the molybdenum price". Centerra Gold indicated at that time it expected "to re-evaluate the status of Endako Mine as market conditions warrant."

Molybdenum
Molybdenum is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic number 42 which is located in period 5 and group 6. The name is from Neo-Latin ''molybdaenum'', which is based on Ancient Greek ', meaning lead, since its ores were confused with lead ores. Molybdenum minerals have been known throughout history, but the element was discovered (in the sense of differentiating it as a new entity from the mineral salts of other metals) in 1778 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The metal was first isolated in 1781 by Peter Jacob Hjelm. Molybdenum does not occur naturally as a free metal on Earth; it is found only in various oxidation states in minerals. The free element, a silvery metal with a grey cast, has the sixth-highest melting point of any element. It readily forms hard, stable carbides in alloys, and for this reason most of the world production of the element (about 80%) is used in steel alloys, including high-strength alloys and superalloys. Most molybdenum compounds have low so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
