CONVENTIONAL MINING AND MILLING OF URANIUM ORE Introduction. Production of uranium concentrates, in the form of U3O8, or "Yellowcake" as it is commonly referred to in the industry, from ore which is mined by open pit or underground methods and processed to recover uranium, employs technology and methods common to the mining industry.

All three mining methods produce uranium suspended in liquid. The liquid is filtered and the uranium extracted from it by ion exchange to form a uranium oxide concentrate. This is a bright yellow powder, known as yellowcake. Yellowcake is only mildly reactive and must go through the enrichment process before uranium is usable in a commercial way.

Uranium mining is the process of extraction of uranium ore from the ground. The worldwide production of uranium in amounted to 53,656 tonnes. Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia were the top three producers and together account for 68% of world uranium production. Other important uranium producing countries in excess of 1,000 tonnes per year

3/2/ · Milling: This process takes place at a mill after the ore containing uranium is removed from the Earth through open pit or underground mining.The ore is brought to a mill, crushed, and ground up before chemicals are added to dissolve the uranium. The uranium is then separated from the chemical solution, solidified, dried and packaged.

Uranium is found in small amounts in most rocks, and even in seawater. Uranium mines operate in many countries, but more than 85% of uranium is produced in six countries: Kazakhstan, Canada, Australia, Namibia, Niger, and Russia. Historically, conventional mines (e.g. open pit or underground) were the main source of uranium. After mining, the ore is crushed in a mill, where water is added to produce a slurry of fine ore particles and other materials. The slurry is leached with sulfuric acid or a

Uranium at South Inkai is extracted through in-situ leaching (ISL). Recovered uranium is processed at a processing facility located on the site using ion exchange technology. The plant has the capacity to process 2,000t of uranium per year. Commercial production from the South Inkai uranium mine started in January 2009.
