ALMATY - Kazakh authorities have reiterated "plans" to become a world leader in uranium production.
Kazakhstan, apart from sitting on the world's largest untapped oil deposit off the Caspian coast, is also immensely rich in non-ferrous metal ore, including copper, gold, silver, zinc and last but not least uranium. It has the second largest reserves after Australia, with deposit volumes of class A (proven) and class B (assessed) amounting to 11.6 million tons. About two-thirds of the country's uranium is located in the northern provinces, with other fields scattered over the west, south and the east of the country.
