Molybdenum was discovered by Carl Welhelm Scheele, a Swedish chemist, in 1778 in a mineral known as molybdenite (MoS2) which had been confused as a lead compound. Molybdenum was isolated by Peter Jacob Hjelm in 1781. Today, most molybdenum is obtained from molybdenite, wulfenite (PbMoO4) and powellite (CaMoO4).

Upon prospecting the anomaly, an 80 m outcrop of mineralized granite was discovered. The new zone contains molybdenum mineralization within a hematite altered intrusive. Thirteen grab samples were taken and ranged from 0.067% molybdenum (Mo) to 0.005% Mo with the samples averaging 0.024% Mo.
