Uranium in Canada | Canadian Uranium Production: "Canada was the world's largest uranium producer for many years, accounting for about 22% of world output, but in 2009 was overtaken by Kazakhstan.
Production comes mainly from the McArthur River mine in northern Saskatchewan province, which is the largest in the world.
Production is expected to increase significantly from 2013 as the new Cigar Lake mine comes into operation.
With known uranium resources of 572,000 tonnes of U3O8 (485,000 tU), as well as continuing exploration, Canada will have a significant role in meeting future world demand. "
