Uranium is primarily found in deposits within the Earth's crust, often in minerals such as uraninite, as well as in sedimentary rocks and seawater. Major uranium-producing countries include Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia. Recovery methods typically involve mining—either through traditional open-pit or underground mining, or through in-situ recovery, which involves injecting solutions to extract uranium from underground deposits. Additionally, advancements in technology are improving the efficiency of uranium extraction from various sources, including recycling from spent nuclear fuel.
