  • More about A Preliminary Inventory and Assessment of Uranium Resources in Mine Wastes

This publication expands the resource evaluation of uranium production to include residual waste products, aiming for comprehensive extraction and zero waste in the mining industry.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 118 pages
Publication date: 30 June 2021
Publisher: IAEA


The uranium production cycle is a multifaceted process that encompasses both economic extraction of resources and environmental and remediation aspects, often treated as parallel elements in a linear cradle-to-grave approach. However, this publication takes a novel approach by expanding the resource evaluation to encompass the entire life of the mine, including the assessment of resources in residual waste products. This perspective is situated within the context of potential reuse or remining of so-called anthropogenic resources, aligning with the principles of a circular economy. The primary objective of this publication is to provide a comprehensive inventory of uranium contained in mine wastes, aiming to achieve comprehensive extraction in the uranium mining industry. Furthermore, it seeks to establish an initial framework that harmonizes this aim with environmental and remediation considerations, ultimately leading to the achievement of zero waste.
