Uranium Mining in Namibia . Uranium minerals were first recognized in the vicinity of today's Rössing Mine in 1928. But it was not until Rio Tinto acquired exploration rights in the 1960s, that a number of low-grade ore bodies were discovered along the north side of the rugged Khan valley.
Uranium Miners were exposed to radon gas, a radioactive material thought to cause lung cancer. Uranium Miners were exposed to mining dust, thought to cause lung disease. NIOSH made the study to find if uranium miners have an increased risk for lung cancer and other lung disease when compared to the U.S. general public.
Welcome to the website of the Namibian Uranium Association. Namibia has a well-established uranium exploration and mining sector, and proudly looks back onto 4 decades of uranium mining. A number of known deposits are at an advanced exploration and early development stage, and await an improvement in the uranium market to become active ...
Open Pit Mining. Open pit mining, also known as strip mining, is the removal of surficial soils and uneconomic rock to get at the ore below. Ore grades are normally less than 0.5%. This is type of mining is only possible if the uranium ore is near the surface (normally less than 400 ft).
Uranium mining is the first step in the generation of both nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Nuclear power plants produce routine radioactive emissions in air and water, produce nuclear waste, and create conditions for disasters similar to Chernobyl and Fukushima. ... Dr Dewar prepared a brief on behalf of the Saskatchewan Medical Association ...
The Wyoming Mining Association serves as a unified voice, providing value at a reasonable cost to its membership, by communicating, influencing, and promoting issues on behalf of the mining industry.
Uranium mining in the West Khasi Hills is opposed by Khasi Students Union (KSU), Langrin Youth Welfare Association (LYWA), Women Against Uranium Mining (WAUM). Khasi Student's Union opposes denial of permission for uranium exploration in Balpakram National Park, as uranium mining projects in West Khasi Hills still being pursued :

The Association also addresses the social and cultural needs of communities in the area, people employed by the uranium industry, as well as business and economic imperatives of relevant shareholders. NUA promotes the principle of zero harm and universal adherence to the World Nuclear Association's policy document on uranium mining standards.
– The National Mining Association (NMA) today applauded recommendations from the Nuclear Fuel Working Group, which included important steps to restore American nuclear energy leadership. "Energy security and national security concerns have been repeatedly raised around our staggering import reliance for uranium.

The study sought mathematical precision of the association, rather than the more general fact that uranium mining led to exposure to radon that caused lung cancer. Later in the 1960s, it became apparent that smoking was a modifier of risk and that most of the lung cancers in White miners were among smokers.
Most US uranium-producing states are 'agreement states' vis a vis the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and have authority to issue permits and regulate uranium mining and milling. The NRC's role is then minimal. In February 2015 Wyoming, the major uranium production state, passed legislation to make it an agreement state, along with all the other uranium-producing states.

The House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources, chaired by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), provided a forum for the National Mining Association to attack the uranium-mining ban that is supported by tribes, regional businesses and the public.
Uranium mining in Colorado was an expansion of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century vanadium extraction. During World War I, vanadium was used as a steel-strengthening alloy, among other applications. An early and prominent example of a vanadium mine was Standard Chemical's mine at Joe Junior Camp, sixty miles south of Grand Junction.
World Uranium Mining Production. Over two-thirds of the world's production of uranium from mines is from Kazakhstan, Canada and Australia. An increasing amount of uranium, now over 50%, is produced by in situ leaching. In 2020 Kazakhstan produced the largest share of uranium from mines (41% of world supply), followed by Australia (13%) and ...
Uranium mining is the process of extraction of uranium ore from the ground. The worldwide production of uranium in 2019 amounted to 53,656 tonnes. Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia were the top three uranium producers, respectively, and together account for 68% of world production. Other countries producing more than 1,000 tonnes per year included Namibia, Niger, Russia, Uzbekistan, the United ...
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Mining Association (NMA) today issued the following statement on the federal government's action to initiate a mineral withdrawal study of more than 220,000 acres of land in Minnesota.

The Saskatchewan Mining Association (SMA) is an industry-driven organization representing the mining and mineral exploration industry within Saskatchewan. SMA advocates on behalf of members on issues related to provincial and federal regulatory changes, develops and supports educational outreach programs, organizes and hosts public outreach and ...
On the basis of an examination of published studies, the committee concludes that best practices, if properly implemented in association with rigorous monitoring, should address or allow the site operator to take action to mitigate the majority of short-term environmental effects from routine uranium-specific mining and processing activities.
Uranium mining and processing are associated with a wide range of potential adverse human health risks. Some of these risks arise out of aspects of uranium mining and processing specific to that enterprise, whereas other risks apply to the mining sector generally and still others are linked more broadly to large-scale industrial or construction activities.
National Mining Association challenges 20-year withdrawal. The same day and in front of the same judges, the National Mining Association and others appealed a lower court's 2014 decision to uphold the 20-year uranium ban on new claims spanning over one million acres around the Grand Canyon.

Russia. The World Nuclear Association states that Russia has known uranium deposits of 500,000 tonnes and planned to mine 11,000 to 12,000 tonnes per year from deposits in the South Urals, Western Siberia, and Siberia east of Lake Baikal, by 2010.. The Russian nuclear industry underwent an overall restructuring process during 2007. The production was high as almost 4,000 tons of tU 3 O 8 (8.8 ...
