Moderately high reflectance, close to that of galena: R mol > R wf, but < R bm, ccp.. It is the enormous bireflectance that is striking, as in the case of graphite. However, the minimum values (R e) of molybdenite are always distinctly higher than graphite minimum R e.They are also always > R of gangue and even of ores such as …

Birefringence: Molybdenite is non-birefringent, meaning it does not exhibit double refraction. Pleochroism: It may exhibit weak pleochroism, where it appears slightly different in color or intensity when viewed from different angles, but this effect is usually minimal. Molybdenite is often associated with other minerals in ore deposits and is an …

Name: Variations of the name molybdaena and molybdenite were used for lead ores by Dioscorides (50-70 CE), Pliny the Elder (79 CE), and Agricola (1556), but the modern use of molybdenite did not begin until Johan Gottschalk Wallerius wrote about ...
The Henderson mine is a porphyry molybdenum deposit with molybdenite as the primary sulfide mineral. The Henderson deposit is composed of two partially overlapping ore bodies beneath the summit of Red Mountain. The ore bodies are entirely within a Tertiary rhyolite porphyry intrusive complex that has intruded the Precambrian Silver Plume granite.
Molybdenite is a simple sulfide - MoS2. It is a member of the hexagonal crystal system in its most common form (molybdenite-2H), and of the tetragonal system in a less common polymorph (molybdenite-3R). Molybdenite is unusual in possessing a layered structure that produces a lubricating effect: the mineral cont…
example is probably the Endako mine in British Columbia, which was known as an area of molybdenite veins as early as 1927 (Kimura and others, 1969, p. 699). Veins in the same area were also described by Armstrong (1949, p. 134). These veins were examined many times until 1952. Over the next 10 years, the prospect was further explored
Particle size is a very important factor affecting flotation properties of molybdenite. In porphyry copper–molybdenite ores the flotation conditions (grinding, reagents, bubble size, etc.) all are optimized with respect to Cu and not Mo. Fig. 2 shows that the optimum flotation particle size for molybdenite is around 20 μm, and the size …

Occasionally, Knaben miners encountered bonanza pockets, including one found in 1914 that contained a nine-ton mass of 90-percent-pure molybdenite worth $80,000—a small fortune at the time. Knaben's prosperity as Europe's primary source of molybdenite was brief, however. Its mines closed when molybdenum prices collapsed …
The most important ore source of molybdenum is the mineral molybdenite; a minor amount is recovered from the mineral wulfenite. Molybdenum commonly is recovered as a by-product or co-product from copper mining. The U.S. produces significant quantities of molybdenite. The major producers of molybdenum are China, Chile, the U.S., Peru, …

Mining. Molybdenum occurs in nature in chemical combination with other elements. There are various molybdenum-bearing minerals, but the only one of commercial significance is molybdenite (MoS2) - a natural molybdenum sulfide. In ore bodies, molybdenite is generally present in quantities from 0.01-0.25%.
