Kazatomprom’s quarterly trading update, and the Operating and Financial Review (OFR, published twice a year) contain information about our Uranium segment and corresponding production and sales metrics. Please review these reports on the Reports and Results page in the Investors section of our website.
Our Mission is to sustainably develop our uranium deposits and their value chain components in order to create long-term value for all our stakeholders.
Our Vision is to be the Partner of Choice for the global nuclear fuel industry.
Our strategic goals are:
Overall, our focus is on value preservation, taking into account price and market conditions. Given the current situation in the market, and in light of the continuing oversupply of products in the natural uranium market, we made a strategic and responsible decision to cut production in order to help bring the supply side more in line with demand. These measures are absolutely common in other commodity industries, and highlight our commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability of uranium mining, which in turn is an essential element in the production of clean, carbon-free electricity worldwide.
Uranium is a chemical element (U) and a silvery-grey to black metal. It occurs naturally in low concentrations in soil, rock and water. Uranium is a widespread element on Earth, but it must occur in high enough concentrations in order to make its extraction economic. The U-238 isotope is not radioactive, while the U-235 isotope is radioactive; however, given that this isotope’s concentration is relatively low in natural uranium / U3O8 (0.7%), all of KAP’s products, including the fuel pellets and powders (with 3-5% concentration), are only weakly radioactive.
The average dose of Kazatomprom's enterprises personnel radiation exposure was 1.55 mSv, which includes the natural background radiation. At the same time, in 2018 the values of natural background radiation at our production areas of the Company's enterprises ranged from 0.3 to 1.2 mSv/year. The average dose, less the natural background radiation in 2018, was 0.76 mSv/year. According to the Kazakh legislation on average the dose limit is 20 mSv for any consecutive 5 years, but not more than 50 mSv per year.
Our uranium is used for peaceful purposes, primarily as fuel for nuclear power plants that generate electricity, isotopes can also be used in nuclear medicine and for other commercial purposes.
The in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium extraction method was first used in the 1960s. The benefits of ISR over conventional mining methods include lower cost of extraction, smaller environmental footprint and better health and safety performance.
Traditional mining involves extracting ore from the ground, while ISR involves using liquids, which are pumped through the orebody to recover the minerals directly from the ore by leaching. Consequently, no waste rock is generated and there is little surface disturbance.
