UEX N/A Source : Griffiths McBurney Feature Presentation The Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan hosts the world's largest and highest grade uranium deposits accounting for 1/3 of the global uranium supply, a figure which is expected to increase significantly by the end of the decade. The Basin has witnessed a rush in claim staking activity since 2004 due to the rise in the price of uranium to about US$40/lb (March 13, 2006). At present, there are more than 30 companies exploring for uranium in the Basin. Full coverage of the Athabasca Basin Uranium Sector Reports by Resource Captial Research Uranium Market Commentary U3O8.biz : Mar 09, 2010 - Canada opens arms to uranium investment - In last week's Throne Speech, the Harper government laid out plans to liberalize foreign investment in the Canadian uranium industry in an effort to fire up mining activity. The move comes at a critical time as Canada, the long-time leader in global uranium production, will be outdone by Kazakhstan this year and risks falling behind Australia in the near future. Although Canada has "the most favorable geological environment" and "the highest grade deposits . . . these projects cost billions of dollars to build and by having foreign investment they are going to create further jobs and keep Canada on top of the pedestal," points out Simon Tonkin, analyst at Thomas Weisel Partners. Present legislation restricts foreign ownership in Canadian uranium mining projects to 49 per cent. The Harper government views the cap as too restrictive in that it "inhibit[s] the growth of Canada's uranium mining .... More>>   Facts (Source: Uranium Information Centre Ltd) Over half of the world's production of uranium from mines is in Canada and Australia. Canada produces the largest share of uranium from mines (29% of world supply from mines), followed by Australia (21%). Canada has two relatively new mines which have come into production: Cogema's McClean Lake mine started up in 1999 and is producing almost 3000 t/yr U3O8 (2550 tU). Cameco's McArthur River deposit has enormous high-grade reserves and has started supplying ore from its underground mine to the Key Lake mill, to produce about 8200 t/yr U3O8 (7000 tU). Two more are ready to develop: Cameco's Cigar Lake underground mine will truck ore for treatment at McClean Lake and Rabbit Lake mills, 80 km away, to produce 8200 t/yr U3O8 (7000 tU). Cogema's Midwest mine will be underground, and this ore also is likely to be milled at McClean Lake nearby, to produce 2600 t/yr U3O8 (2200 tU). Thus by about 2006, Canadian output could be substantially be concentrated at two mills: McClean Lake producing over 9000 tU and Key Lake 7000 tU per year, with about 2500 t/yr coming from Rabbit Lake. All this will be over half of projected world mine production. (See also UIC Briefing paper #3 on Canada.) In Australia Beverley, a 1000 tU/yr ISL mine in South Australia, started up late in 2000. Two further mines are under development. A similar-sized ISL mine under development is Honeymoon. These are similar to those providing most US uranium. Jabiluka, NT, is to be a conventional underground mine, though its production will be phased in to match the decline of Ranger. With the ISL mines plus Ranger and the expanded Olympic Dam, Australian uranium production is likely to reach some 9000 tonnes U per year. This will be almost a quarter of projected world mine production.
