Uranium deposits are found all over the world. The largest deposits of uranium are found in Australia, Kazakhstan and Canada. High-grade deposits are only found in Canada. It is also found in ocean water.
Uranium is a naturally occurring element that has the highest atomic weight (~238 g/mole) and is slightly radioactive. It can be found in minute quantities in most rocks, soils and waters (normally < 5 ppm), but the real challenge is to find it in high enough concentrations to make it economically feasible to mine.
