Leader in uranium
In 2022, Kazakhstan became the world leader in uranium production. Its mines produced 21,000 tons (40% of all world production) using underground leaching. In Uzbekistan, 3,300 tons of uranium were mined in 2022 (5th place in the world). Next comes Russia with 2,500 tons, which has 1st place in uranium enrichment. But it increased its share in control over Kazakh uranium: in December 2022, Rosatom bought the Stepnogorsk plant and 49% in the Budenovskoye enterprise, which is developing two sections of the deposit of the same name.
