Such unconventional resources, from which uranium can be produced in conjunction with other metals, have accounted for over 11% of historical uranium production. Rare earth element (REE) deposits are one such unconventional resource. REEs have unique catalytic, metallurgical, nuclear, electrical, magnetic and luminescent properties, and play a critical role in the application of many modern technologies, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, satellites, batteries, LED screens and solar panels. China is the leadin

Uranium from Rare Earth Deposits - World Nuclear Association HOME / Information Library / nuclear fuel cycle / uranium-resources / Uranium From Rare Earths Deposits nuclear fuel cycle Uranium from Rare Earth Deposits Updated Tuesday, 20 January 2026 A large amount of uranium is in rare earth deposits, and may be extracted as a by-product. Higher uranium prices and geopolitical developments would enhance the economic potential for recovering these. Rare earths are essential for many modern technologies. Growth in electric car use will depend, in part, on the availability of rare earths. In addi
