Comparison of UDEPO 2015 resources and 2014 Red Book resources

The OECD/NEA–IAEA Red Book provides a contemporary summary of national level production and remaining resources from a government perspective. These resources are subdivided according to the Red Book cost categories and resource classification scheme. In general, no individual deposit statistics are reported, partly due to the sensitivity of government interpretations of economic categorization and partly to space limitations. UDEPO is a complementary database with some fundamental differences, such as the inclusion of individual resource estimates, often from public or semi-public entities, many of which are historical data whose recording predates current national resource reporting standards. Thus, not all UDEPO statistics are reflected in the harmonized figures in Red Books. Moreover, UDEPO contains historic resources that have since been mined or resources that may never be economically viable, since such relatively ‘raw’ information is valuable for modelling uranium potential and exploration targeting. Consequently, total resources reported in UDEPO are generally and necessarily higher than those reported in the Red Book, the latter of which is in some cases a subset of the former. However, owing to a lack of public information where, for example, uranium exploration and mining are entirely government enterprises, aggregated national scale Red Book figures may exceed those in UDEPO. These difference are minimized whenever with no resources in UDEPO (minor historical production is from imported phosphate ore).

In its 2015 edition, the Red Book also takes into account ‘in situ identified resources’, which amount to 7 659 400 tU in the <US $130/kgU category, and 10 188 700 tU in the <US $260/kgU category [7].

In situ resources correspond to average recoveries of 67–74%. The Red Book states that

“reporting in situ resources provides a more optimistic view of the available resource base and gives some indication of how the resource base could increase with improvements in mining and processing methods, which would lead to better recovery. However, recoverable resources still provide the best and more realistic estimate of uranium supply” [7].

It is interesting to compare the Red Book published resources (‘identified in situ resources’) [7] which

are conventional resources added to total production (columns 1 + 2) with the UDEPO conventional

resources (column 4). As noted, UDEPO total resources from a deposit include all current resource

categories, plus any past production. Where a deposit has been estimated at several cut-off grades,

those resources corresponding to the lowest cut-off grade are adopted. Thus, resources listed in

71 UDEPO for countries should be larger than the addition of the historical production (column 1) and the 2014 Red Book ‘identified in situ resources’ (column 2) at a cost of <US $260/kgU.

The main observations are:

(a) (Columns 1 + 2) total 13 063 632 tU compared to 14 789 330 tU (columns 4 + 5) when including the Olympic Dam resources (2 111 000 tU) in the UDEPO conventional resources total (12 678 333 tU), thus a difference of 1 725 500 tU in favour of UDEPO.

This figure will probably be increased in the future, since numerous old exhausted deposits in UDEPO have only mining production data. Original resources can be found in historical reports and mining company archives;

(b) The 2014 Red Book does not record conventional resources for 14 countries. Some of these (Austria, Bolivia, Morocco, Nigeria, Poland, Senegal, Serbia and the Former Yugoslavia) have historical geological resources totalling 17 226 tU. Some are past producing countries such as France, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Very few data are available for Tajikistan. Turkmenistan has produced uranium, but there are no official production figures (production was probably included in the former Soviet production);

(c) Some countries have larger resources (columns 1 + 2) in the Red Book than those in UDEPO. This can be due to several factors:

 Individual deposit scale historical data missing for countries such as the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia and Tajikistan;

 Lack of published data for producing countries such as Brazil, China, India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jordan and Ukraine. In recent years, China has announced the discovery of several deposits, although no precise data have been made available;

 Lack of published individual deposit data for countries such Greenland (Denmark) and Indonesia;

(d) As regards South Africa, UDEPO indicates much larger resources (>900 000 tU) than

those given in the Red Book. This is due to significant geological resources present in the

gold mines. Also, 171 000 tU are estimated in the very large tailings piles.

Various tables have been produced for this report:

 Tables 21 and 22 detail the proportion, as a percentage, of deposits cited in each range used in UDEPO for resources and grades;

 Tables 23–25 list, by order of importance, all deposits with resources larger than 50 000 tU (all deposits, conventional deposits, unconventional deposits);

 Tables 26–34 indicate the uranium resources by continent and the uranium endowment for each continent, as of 2015. South America and Asia record much lower endowments than do the other continents. Both South America and Asia have large relatively underexplored areas.

4. SUMMARY

The World Distribution of Uranium Deposits database (UDEPO) provides general, technical and geological information, including references, on global uranium deposits.

As of 2015, 1807 deposits were listed in the database, which represents a significant increase on the 2009 edition, which listed 873 deposits. These additional deposits derive from historical data, from exploration success, from the inclusion of small deposits with resources below 300 tU and from the inclusion of large unconventional resources.

The database uses the most recent IAEA geological classification, which was validated in 2013 and incorporates 15 deposit types, 37 subtypes and 14 classes. This classification is also used in the 2014 and 2016 editions of the Red Book.

Forty-nine parameters are recorded for each deposit.

Total uranium resources in UDEPO 2015 amount to 57 154 000 tU hosted within 1780 deposits with known (quantified) or estimated (ranges) resources.

Conventional uranium resources amount to 11 845 000 tU hosted within 1663 deposits with known/estimated resources.

Unconventional resources amount to 45 309 000 tU hosted within 117 deposits with known/estimated resources.

All the deposits’ coordinates have been collected by the IAEA in order to produce a world map of uranium deposits in the near future.

UDEPO 2015 has been published on the IAEA web site, allowing users to register and to work freely with the data sets (http://wwwnfcis.iaea.org). The web site provides filtering and navigation to the data stored in the database.

The database also has a statistical tool which provides summary information on the number of deposits and uranium resources according to type and status, and according to country and status, for example.

In this respect, and with regard to the data presented, the UDEPO database is unique in so far as it

provides freely accessible information on global uranium deposits.

95 Although every effort has been made to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the information provided, users should be aware that there may still be missing or outdated data for individual deposits as a result of the rapid changes that have occurred in the uranium industry and the ongoing exploration results. Data entry is also a slow and time-consuming process!

Feedback from the users of the database is very important and is actively encouraged in order to

improve the usability and the usefulness of the database and its web site. The IAEA is seeking the help

of collaborators in filling in missing data for several countries.
