This paper summarises Australia's uranium resources and production in a global context. It observes that there is a strong spatial relationship between uranium mineralisation and uranium enriched igneous rocks, outlines the potential for further uranium discoveries in Australia, summarises future uranium supply and demand scenarios and comments on thorium resources. Finally, it mentions a Federal government led initiative to identify and address impediments to uranium exploration and mining in Australia.
