Luminescent method of estimation of molybdenum content of quartz vein outcrops

Abstract
In Central Kazakhstan at the deposits of quartz-molybdenum formation the processes of molybdenum leaching from the oxidation zone are widely developed. Molybdenum leaching is especially intensive at the outcrops of molybdenum-ore quartz veins, i.e. in the very near-surface part of ore bodies, at a depth of several tens of centimeters. In this case, near the surface in place of molybdenum, leaching voids and powellite remain, which is difficult to visually detect.
