Concentrations of uranium in this type of deposit typically grade to 0.01–0.015% U 3 O 8. [29] Recovery process costs are estimated at $22 to $54 per pound of U 3 O 8; higher than the market price of uranium during the 25-year period spanning the 1980s through the early first decade of the 21st century. Consequently, uranium recovery from ...

This contains lists of countries by uranium production. The first two lists are compiled by the World Nuclear Association , and measures uranium production by tonnes mined. The last list is compiled by TradeTech, a consulting company which specializes in the nuclear fuel market.
The increasing number of claims that began in 2006 was a direct result of the rising uranium prices that began that year. [19] Higher uranium prices encouraged mining companies to locate and mine new deposits around the canyon area.
