Synopsis
Timetric's 'Global Uranium Mining to 2020' report comprehensively covers global identified resources of uranium, reasonably assured resources by country, the historical and forecast data on global uranium mine production, planned and committed mine expansions and production by country, production by mining method and production by major mines. The report also includes demand drivers affecting the global uranium mining industry, profiles of major uranium producing companies and information on the global major active, exploration and development projects by region.

Summary
Global uranium mine production according to Timetric's global uranium report was 56,184 tonnes (t) in 2014, down by 5.4% compared with 2013, with Kazakhstan being the leading producer, followed by Canada and Australia.

Scope
The report provides information on the global uranium mining industry together with the key demand drivers affecting the industry. Further, it provides information about reserves, historic and forecast production and production by country, production by mining method and production by major mines, competitive landscape and major active, exploration and development projects.

Reason To Buy
Gain an understanding of the global uranium mining industry, the relevant demand drivers , reserves, historic and forecast production, production by major country, production by mining method and production by major mines, active, exploration and development projects and the competitive landscape.

Key Highlights
• Global uranium mine (or metal content in the ore) production was 56,184t in 2014, down by 5.4% compared with 2013.

• The increase in global production in recent years is mainly due to an increase in output from Kazakhstan. 

• With power generation being a significant end use for uranium, the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident has had an impact on long term nuclear power policies in Germany, Belgium, France and Switzerland, switching in favor of capping and eventually phasing out nuclear power plants. However, there is demand for nuclear capacities from other parts of the world, and demand has a unique regional footprint.
