At Kennecott Utah Copper, we take pride in responsibly producing molybdenum. Our world-class safety performance and our ISO 14001 certified operations show our rigorous dedication to our employees, the environment and the surrounding communities. Molybdenum is highly versatile as an alloying element in steel. It enhances strength, hardenability, toughness, weldability, elevated temperature strength, and corrosion resistance of steel. Molybdenum has one of the highest melting points and lowest thermal expansions of any metal. These unique properties make molybdenum the material of choice in a variety of high-tech and demanding applications. We produce molybdenum as a by-product of our copper deposits in the Bingham Canyon Mine near Salt Lake City, Utah. Our molybdenum is milled and floated at the Copperton Concentrator and shipped to roasters around the world to produce a roasted molybdenite concentrate or moly oxide.
