According to him, if prices remain at current low levels, the production of uranium in Kazakhstan will remain at current levels. At the same time, the country can still increase production to 25thsd tons per year - about 40% of global production - provided that such amount is demanded by the market. As reported, In Jan-Aug, uranium extraction reached 12,284 tonnes. Thus the national atomic company Kazatomprom has enhanced its 2011 forecast of uranium extraction in Kazakhstan to the level of 19,900 tonnes, which is up by 15% compared to the previous prediction for 2011 at the level of 19,600 tonnes.
