THE MOLYBDENUM INDUSTRY IN NSW (1916) 

MINERAL RESOURCES (24) BY EC ANDREWS

Sach's Mine, Kingsgate, 22 miles east of Glen Innes. Three specimens - 5cwt, 6 cwt and 80 lb. respectively torn from one mass of Molybdenite.

During World War (1914-1918) there was a great demand for metals used to harden steel. Molybdenum is one of these. One of the largest producers of molybdenite was at Kingsgate near Glen Innes in northern NSW. This began as a group of bismuth mines. The associated molybdenite was discarded. Much of it was later recovered from mullock heaps and within abandoned mines.

See the entries earlier in this blog for lots more information on the Kingsgate mines.

You can download this volume from DIGS:

Now search with these words: molybdenum 1916 Andrews.

When I do this, the molybdenum volume appears at the top of a list which you can click. If it's not there, move down until you find it.

Click on the molybdenum volume. What you get now is a list of things to download. The molybdenum volume is at the top of the list. Click to download then immediately save when finished.

This worked fine for me a few minutes ago.
