| Abstract | Uranium is a common element throughout the Earths crust, soils, and oceans. Uranium resources are naturally occurring deposits that may have a sufficient concentration of uranium to support mining
operations. Canada has about 8% of the worlds unmined uranium resources, but accounts for some 25% of the global primary uranium production. Canadas uranium mines are located in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, which has ore grades as
high as 21% uranium metal, an order of magnitude larger than any other deposits in the world. The nuclear industry provides about 15% of Canadas electrical power (50% of Ontarios). The map shows districts with potential for uranium development, small
occurrences of uranium, locations of uranium mines and facilities, and locations of nuclear facilities that generate electrical power. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The map was originally published online in the Atlas of Canada, 6th Edition as an interactive digital map derived from a shapefile and mapped online
using MapServer, a platform for publishing spatial data to the web. In order to preserve the geographical content of this Edition during its publication from 1999 to 2009 all the maps have been converted from their online interactive form to a raster
and made available in PDF and JPEG. |
