Pafupifupi molybdenum iyo yili mu chigaŵa cha charu chapasi yili pafupifupi 0.00011%. Pafupifupi mitundu 20 ya mchere wa molybdenum yasangika, ndipo molybdenite ndiyo njakuzirwa chomene pa mafakitale, ndipo pamanyuma pake pali tungsten-phase calcium ore, chisulo cha platinum, molybdenite, na platinum-mkuwa. Kuyana na ivyo wupu wa United States Geological Survey ukafumiska mu 2015, pa charu chose pali matani gha molybdenum pafupifupi 11 miliyoni, ndipo ŵakukhozgeka kuti pali pafupifupi matani 19.4 miliyoni.
Kugaŵira kwa chigaŵa
Vinthu vyakupangika na molybdenum ivyo vikusangika pa charu chose vikusangika chomene ku mphepete ya kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Pacific Basin, mu Andes, kufuma ku Alaska na British Columbia kujumpha ku United States na Mexico kufika ku Chile. Mapiri ghakumanyikwa chomene ni Cordillera ku America, agho ghali na porphyry molybdenum na mkuwa unandi. Vinyake mwa vinthu ivi ni malo agho ghakusangikamo molibdeni wa Clemensk na Henderson ku United States; mkuŵa wa porphyry wa El Teniente, Chuquicamata, El Salvador, na Tespidarca uwo ukusangika mu Chile; na malo gha mkuwa gha porphyry gha mu chigwa cha Endaco na Highland ku Canada. China nayo yikujilumba kuti yili na molybdenum yinandi, ndipo vigaŵa vya Henan, Shaanxi, na Jilin vikupanga 56.5% ya vigaŵa vyose vya charu ichi.
Kugaŵira kwa charu chose
Kuyana na ivyo wupu wa US Geological Survey ukafumiska mu 2015, pa charu chose pali matani gha molybdenum pafupifupi 11 miliyoni. China ndiyo yili na chuma chomene pa charu chose chapasi pa vyakumera vya molybdenum, ndipo yili na matani 4.3 miliyoni, ndipo pamanyuma pake pali United States (matani 2.7 miliyoni) na Chile (matani 1.8 miliyoni). Pamoza, vyaru vitatu ivi vikupanga pafupifupi 80% ya vyaru vyose vya pa charu chose. Vyalo vinyake ivyo vili na vyakumera vinandi vya molybdenum ni Peru (matani 450,000), Canada (matani 260,000), Russia (matani 250,000), Australia (matani 200,000), Mongolia (matani 160,000), Mexico (matani 150,00000). Kazakhstan (matani 130,000), Kyrgyzstan (matani 100,000), Turkey (matani 100,000), Uzbekistan (matani 60,000), na Iran (matani 50,000). Kugaŵira ku China
China nchimoza mwa vyaru ivyo vili na vinthu vinandi vyakupangika na molybdenum pa charu chose. Malinga na data iyo yikafumiskika na Unduna wa Charu na Vinthu, kuumaliro wa 2013, China wakawoneka kuti wali na matani 26.202 miliyoni gha molybdenum (ghakusangika na vitsulo). Mu 2014, molybdenum wakukhozgeka wa ku China wakasazgikira na matani 1.066 miliyoni (vitsulo), ndipo wose pamoza ŵakafika pa matani 27.268 miliyoni (vitsulo). Kweniso, kufuma mu 2011, China yasanga malo ghaphya ghatatu gha molybdenum ghakukwana matani 2-miliyoni, kusazgapo limoza ku Shapinggou, mu chigaŵa cha Anhui, ndipo ivi vyakhozgaso malo ghake nga ni charu chikuru chomene pa charu chose icho chili na molybdenum.
