Situ Leaching

Uranium Mining, Processing, and Enrichment. Ian Hore-Lacy, in Encyclopedia of Energy, 2004. 1.3 In Situ Leach (ISL) Mining. In situ leaching (ISL), also known as solution mining, involves leaving the ore where it is in the ground and using liquids that are pumped through it to recover the minerals out of the ore by leaching. Consequently there is little …

World Uranium Mining Production

About two-thirds of the world's production of uranium from mines is from Kazakhstan, Canada and Australia. An increasing amount of uranium, now over 55%, is produced by in situ leaching. In 2022 Kazakhstan produced the largest share of uranium from mines (43% of world supply), followed by Canada (15%) and Namibia (11%).

In some circumstances, ore may be mined by in situ recovery, a process that dissolves the uranium while still underground and then pumps a uranium-bearing solution to the surface. Open pit mining When uranium ore is found near the surface, generally less than 100 metres deep, it is typically extracted by open pit mining.
