2.1 Uranium Resources

Naturally occurs in uranium-rich collective crust or crust on the current or foreseeable future, they can become an economic and technically

In mining and extraction of uranium minerals.

2.2 Proven uranium resources

Quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, physical characteristics have been highly proven uranium resources [volume], you can take advantage of their technical and economic parameters

DEPOSIT complete production planning and evaluation of economic feasibility, and sufficiently high reliability estimates. The uranium resources through detailed and reliable exploration, take

Thus, by appropriate means as outcrops, trenches, pits exploration, roadway, verification drilling and prospecting of these projects intensive enough to determine uranium mine

Of continuity.

2.3 Control of uranium resources

Quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, physical characteristics have been proven uranium resources [volume], you can take advantage of their technical and economic parameters to complete

Deposit, production planning and evaluation of economic viability, estimates with a certain confidence. The uranium resources through detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and

By appropriate means as outcrops, trenches, pits exploration, roadway, verification drilling and prospecting of these projects have a certain density, we can reasonably speculate that uranium resources

Source mineralization continuity.

2.4 Inferred uranium resources

Uranium Resources [amount] by geological phenomena, the limited sample estimates with a certain quantity, grade or quality, can reasonably speculate that uranium resources

Mineralization continuity, but it can not be determined, and the estimate is only based on appropriate technologies and outcrops, trenches, pits exploration, roadway, obtained limited drilling

It based on data and samples.

2.5 Prediction uranium resources

Based on the results of regional geological research, aviation, remote sensing, geophysical and geochemical anomaly or a very small amount of engineering data, determined to have uranium

Area of potential, and the analogy with known uranium deposits estimated uranium resources [amount], are potential uranium mineral resources, with or without economic significance is not yet determine.

2.6 Uranium ore field

Good conditions of uranium ore and ore-bearing geological structure with high basic unit within its scope has been proven several, or even dozens of scale

Different uranium deposits, uranium resources generally proven more than 10,000 tons, the higher up to several hundred thousand tons, or even more.
