Where do we get uranium?

Uranium is mined largely in Kazakhstan, Australia, and Canada, although the U.S., South Africa, Namibia, Niger, Brazil, and Russia are also significant producers. Uranium is mined using a leaching process that allows it to be dissolved from ore deep in the mine and then pumped to the surface, where it is extracted and concentrated for use.
