An outstanding IAEA map that shows the location most of the known (published) uranium deposits. It is a large map that can be zoomed in to locate specific deposits.
Some Information on the individual deposits is available via ID #: https://infcis.iaea.org/UDEPO/Deposits
For additional detailed information on many of the deposits, see: http://www.i2mconsultants.com/downloads/corp/World_Distribution_of_Uranium_Deposits_U.pdf
The ‘DepID’ number indicated on the map is a unique identification number corresponding to the UDEPO database record.A deposit is only included if it is known that a resource estimate has been undertaken. If the exact data is unknown,then a range is inferred by the IAEA. This is particularly the case with unconventional uranium resources¹,where uranium is present at very low grades and/or only recoverable as a minor by-product requiring special processing techniques.
Resources shown are not current in situ resources,but represent the maximum of either original geological resource, production or remaining resource at the lowest reported cut-off grade. These include historic examples which may not be compliant with contemporary reporting standards. If available, resources for discrete ore zones are shown and if not, aggregated resources are stated. No economic or financial inferences with respect to recoverability of uranium are intended and no estimates are endorsed by the IAEA. The list of deposits is not exhaustive.
For example, of the 2,831 deposits shown on the map,102 deposits with resources greater than 100,000 tU, or those which are currently producing uranium, are named. A further 863 deposits with resources greater than 2,500 tU are numbered and, along with larger or producing deposits, are listed. All other 1,866 deposits less than 2,500 tU are symbolized. These can be queried as described in: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/geospatial-pdfs.html
