Notes of the table

(1) Las cantidades corresponden al peso bruto del producto exportado y no a su contenido metálico fino. / Quantities correspond to the gross weight of the exported product and not to its fine metal content.
(2) Incluye concentrados de molibdeno, óxidos e hidróxidos de molibdeno, molibdatos, molibdeno metálico y sus desechos, además de ferromolibdeno. / Includes molybdenum concentrates, molybdenum oxides and hydroxides, molybdates, metallic molybdenum and its waste, as well as ferromolybdenum.
(3) Los totales por continente pueden no coincidir exactamente con los totales por país, debido a la existencia de exportaciones cuyo destino no se encuentra asignado. Estas exportaciones no pueden clasificarse por continente; sin embargo, se incluyen en la categoría “Otros” de países. / Totals by continent may not exactly match totals by country due to the existence of exports with unassigned destinations. These exports cannot be classified by continent; however, they are included in the “Others” category under countries.
