Uranium production and uses:
Uranium is primarily used to produce fuel for nuclear power plants (more than 99% of total use).
Other uses of uranium (less than 1%) include the production of medical isotopes and fuel for research reactors.
Canadian production of uranium was 14 kilotonnes in 2016. All uranium comes from mines in Saskatchewan and has an annual value of approximately $2 billion
Amir Adnani, CEO of UEC, sits down in the below video interview, to discuss the future of uranium mining with uranium prices currently at $21 a pound.
"I think people in the U.S., especially U.S. buyers of uranium, which represent a quarter of the market, are somewhat frozen out," Adnani told Kitco News on the sidelines of the PDAC 2018, in the video resource, just below in this post.
