Uranium production from in situ leach (ISL) was the largest production category as of 2022, when ISL production amounted to 27,307 metric tons worldwide. That same year, uranium production from underground mines (including open pit figures, excluding Olympic Dam) came to 18,569 metric tons worldwide, making it the second-largest category of uranium production methods.

* Figures are excluding the Olympic Dam mine.
This statistic was assembled using several editions of the report. Uranium production figures for selected past years may have since been adjusted by selected uranium producers. Accordingly, some of the figures presented in this statistic may not reflect the most up-to-date production data for past years.
