The total reserves of the top 10 public listed uranium mining companies grew significantly during the period 2004-08. The growth was registered at a CAGR of 6.46% from about 683,768 tU in the year 2004 to 878,194 tU in 2008. This is due to the increased uranium acquisition of new mines by companies in order to cope with potential uranium demand growth and nuclear industry expansion worldwide. Number of active mines increased during the past few years and new uranium mines are identified for exploration, which is expected to add to the existing global uranium reserves
