ASTANA, Kazakhstan, February 7. Kazakhstan's
uranium production in 2025 amounted to 25,839 tonnes, which is an
increase of 11% compared to 23,270 tonnes recorded in 2024,
Trend reports via
Kazatomprom.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Kazatomprom's enterprises boosted
their production by 9% compared to the same period in 2024,
reaching 7,130 tonnes.
In 2025, the Kazatomprom group’s uranium sales volume reached
18,495 tonnes, reflecting an 11% increase compared to the 16,670
tonnes sold in 2024. However, the average sales price for the group
decreased by 6%, falling from $65.78 per pound in 2024 to $65.10
per pound.
Looking ahead to 2026, Kazatomprom plans to produce between
27,500 and 29,000 tonnes of uranium. This increase in production is
largely attributed to the gradual ramp-up of operations at the
Budenovskoye joint venture (JV), where 100% of the production
volume has been secured under an off-take contract for the period
spanning from 2024 to 2026.
The group forecasts its uranium sales in 2026 to reach between
19,500 and 20,500 tonnes.
Kazatomprom holds the status of the national operator for the
export and import of uranium and its compounds, nuclear fuel for
nuclear power plants, and special equipment and technologies. The
company exclusively operates uranium mining within the country and
holds the uranium reserves in the industry, totaling 300,000
tonnes.
