LAKEWOOD, Colo., June 5, 2017 /CNW/ -- General Moly Inc. (the "Company" or "General Moly") (NYSE MKT and TSX: GMO), the only pure-play, western-exchange listed molybdenum company, will participate and meet with investors at the Marcum Microcap Conference in New York on June 15 and 16, 2017.  Chief Executive Officer Bruce D.

In his presentation, Mr. Hansen will provide an overview of the Company and its major assets in Nevada, the Mt.

About General Moly

General Moly is a U.S.-based molybdenum mineral development, exploration and mining company listed on the NYSE MKT and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GMO. The Company's primary asset, an 80% interest in the Mt. Hope Project located in central Nevada, is considered one of the world's largest and highest grade molybdenum deposits. Combined with the Company's wholly-owned Liberty Project, a molybdenum and copper property also located in central Nevada, General Moly's goal is to become the largest pure play primary molybdenum producer in the world.  

Molybdenum is a metallic element used primarily as an alloy agent in steel manufacturing.  When added to steel, molybdenum enhances steel strength, resistance to corrosion and extreme temperature performance. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, molybdenum is used in catalysts, especially for cleaner burning fuels by removing sulfur from liquid fuels, and in corrosion inhibitors, high performance lubricants and polymers.
