Zarechnoye Mine. Zarechnoye is an operating in situ recovery uranium mine located in the Syr-Darya basin in the Otrar region, South Kazakhstan province, approximatelykm west of Shymkent andkm southeast of Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan.
With the mining industry accounting forper cent of its GDP, Kazakhstan has world leading reserves of chromite, zinc, copper, gold and manganese, and holdsper cent of the global supply of uranium.

Kazakhstan has% of the world's uranium, and in, Kazakhstan was responsible for% of world production. There areuranium mines in the country, however, maximum output is capped at,tons per year.
&#;&#;The real reason Russia wanted this deal was to give Rosatom’s subsidiary Uranium One's very profitable uranium mines in Kazakhstan ― the single largest producer of commercial uranium in the world.
&#;&#;Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Uranium One is a joint venture partner with JSC NAC Kazatomprom, the Kazakhstan state-owned atomic energy company, in six major producing uranium mines in Kazakhstan – Akdala, South Inkai, Karatau, Akbastau, Zarechnoye and Kharasan.
&#;&#;Kazakhstan, which has about one-fifth of the world’s uranium reserves, was the place to be. But with plenty of suitors, Kazatomprom could be picky about its partners.
Kazakhstan has% of the world's uranium resources and has been the world's leading uranium producer since. Itsproduction of,tU accounted for% of world production. The country had planned to increase its production year on year to.
More than half of the world's uranium production comes from justmines. Canada, the second biggest uranium producer in the world, hosts the world's biggestthe McArthur River uranium minewhile Kazakhstan, the largest uranium producing country, operates three of the top.
Additionally, Cameco has apercent stake in a mine in Kazakhstan. In, the world’s largest uranium producer put out slightly less uranium than it did the previous year.
Uranium production in Kazakhstan has grown significantly over the last three years, which has made the central Asian nation the top uranium producer in recent times, last year producing,tonnes.
Kazakhstan is the world’s leading producer of uranium with its,tons of output inrepresenting about% of global production and earning $1.billion in export revenue. The country is theth largest in iron ore reserves with.billion tons.
Uranium mining debate – The uranium mining debate covers the political and environmental controversies of the mining of uranium for use in either nuclear power or nuclear weapons. As of, in terms of production, Kazakhstan was the largest supplier to export markets, followed by Canada.
Inkai is owned% by Cameco and% by the Kazakh government through Kazatomprom. Tapping into the vast uranium potential of Kazakhstan, Joint Venture Inkai LLP operates the in situ recovery mine.
The uranium exploration and mining JVs Akbastau and Karatau with Tenex started with Budenovskoye in the Stepnoye area of south Kazakhstan, which commenced production in. These complemented the Zarechnoye JVkm to the south which was set up in June.
Uranium One’s prize possessions were the mines in Kazakhstan — sometimes described as the Saudi Arabia of uranium — and Dzakhishev said he wanted to keep them out of Russian hands.
Uranium exploration in Kazakhstan began in. Later, in, mining began with positive results, leading to more exploration. Some underground mines from thes remain, but are close to depletion.
