Explanation

Australia has the world largest known economic resources of uranium. According to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the International Atomic Energy Agency, Australia holds approximately one third of the world total uranium reserves. While Kazakhstan is the world top producer of uranium, Australia leads in terms of the total amount of recoverable underground reserves, with the Olympic Dam mine in South Australia being the largest single deposit globally. Canada and Russia also have significant reserves but they rank lower than Australia.
