Largest Molybdenum Producing Countries 2023

Steel, alloys, catalysts, high-temp gear: molybdenum quietly props up a lot of industry, and World Mining Data 2025 breaks down who pulled it out of the ground in 2023. The measurement here is contained molybdenum (Mo) in mine production, counted in metric tonnes. China's output landed at 121,500 tonnes. Chile came in at 44,118. The US sat at 34,000, Peru at 33,476, and Mexico rounded out the top five with 28,313. Armenia reported 11,116 tonnes. Iran, 7,900. Kazakhstan, 3,727. Mongolia, 2,650. Russia, 1,200. Canada, 1,171. Australia, 1,110. Uzbekistan, 713. North Korea, 350. South Korea, 339. Add it all up and the reported global total for 2023 was 291,683 tonnes. China's slice of that was 41.65%. The top five together held 89.62% of the reported total, and this Worldly table lists 15 producing countries, so a top 20 isn't a thing here. #Finance
