As part of the nuclear cycle, uranium is essential to energy production that is safe, efficient and minimises environmental effects. Having the world's largest uranium reserves, Australia is well-positioned to meet a significant proportion of the increased demand for uranium – which in turn presents an exciting career opportunity for mining professionals.

This masterclass aims to provide an overview of uranium mining for engineers, geologists and other industry technical professionals by exploring the geology of uranium deposits, mining practices, milling, and processing, economics and state and commonwealth legislation dealing with uranium mining and production.

Gain skills and knowledge to build on your existing mining technical expertise to pursue opportunities within uranium mining.

From feasibility assessment and operations to processing practices, learn about uranium mining practices and associated exploration and legislation regulations; and the skills to apply this knowledge to critically review uranium mining practices and creatively solve problems in a manner responsive to change.
