Uzbekistan Targets Uranium Output Exceeding Canada's 2024 Levels
What happened
Uzbekistan announced a goal to double its uranium production by 2030, targeting 15,000 tonnes annually. This goal aims to exceed Canada’s total output from 2024, which was approximately 14,300 tonnes. The country also set a 2026 production target of 7,500 tonnes.

Why it matters
This expansion is part of a comprehensive program by Uzbekistan to grow its critical minerals sector. The ability to meet these production goals depends on developing new deposits and securing processing chemicals, a factor that also shapes production plans at Kazatomprom.
