Kazakhstan’s probable uranium reserves exceed 2 million tons, Energy Vice Minister Yerlan Akbarov has revealed at a plenary session of the Kazakh Senate.
He announced Kazakhstan’s prospective uranium reserves surpassed more than 2 million tons. There are nine uranium provinces in Kazakhstan, including the Shu-Sarysu and Syrdarya basins, which are mainly represented by hydrogenic deposits. The remaining provinces are ore-based, which means they contain solid minerals.
The December 4 plenary session of the Senate reviewed in its first reading amendments to Kazakhstan’s Code on Subsoil and Subsoil Use aimed at improving regulations in the field of hydrocarbons and uranium. (Qazinform)
