Uranium Country Notes

Pakistan

Extensive exploration for uranium has been carried out. Discoveries reported in the 1999 Red Book related to the Kamlial Formation in the Salt Range and the Maraghzar area in the Swat district, but no uranium resources have been reported to the IAEA. A number of previously discovered deposits have been mined out. Production is estimated to be some 40-45 tU per annum. Cumulative output of uranium, all recovered using ISL technology, now exceeds 1 000 tonnes.
