Molybdenum sulfide is separated from a molybdenite-containing copper ore concentrate by subjecting an aqueous pulp of the concentrate to froth flotation in the presence of a collector for molybdenum sulfide and a Nokes-type (e.g., arsenic trioxide/sodium sulfide) depressant for copper sulfide, the aqueous pulp being aerated with an inert gas to effect flotation of the molybdenum sulfide constituent of the pulp while maintaining the emf of the pulp above about minus 200 millivolts.
