The distribution of global uranium ore resources is extremely uneven. Kazakhstan alone accounts for 45% of the world's uranium production, holding an absolute leading position. Namibia, Canada, and Australia follow with 11%, 9%, and 8.6% respectively. Uzbekistan, Russia, and Niger have production shares of 7.2%, 5.4%, and 4.6%. Interestingly, China's production share is only 3.9%, yet it holds significant influence in the global nuclear energy industry. Countries like India, Ukraine, South Africa, and Iran have production shares below 1%. This highly concentrated supply pattern has profound implications for global energy prices and geopolitical dynamics.

It is too exaggerated to dominate the Kazakh family, and this energy lifeline is really stuck

Kazakhstan is almost monopolizing it, how awesome is that --- China accounts for only 3.9% of production but still holds the say, now that's real IQ dominance --- To put it simply, controlling uranium means controlling the energy lifeline --- Namibia, with only 11%, can still rank so high; what's the deal with the industrial chain layout? --- In the nuclear era, whoever controls uranium gets to speak; a simplified version of geopolitical politics --- India has less than 1% and still wants to develop nuclear power, too ambitious --- Kazakhstan is hilarious, just one country can choke the whole world

Kazakhstan's 45% share distribution is truly impressive; the voting power and production are seriously decoupled. China’s 3.9% can still dominate, and this is the ceiling of capital game theory.

Kazakhstan's 45% is truly impressive; the energy discourse power is just in their hands. China's production accounts for less than 4%, yet they still have a say—this is true technological content. Wait, Russia is only 5.4%? I thought it was more... Uranium mines are monopolized by just a few countries, making the future of nuclear energy feel completely restricted. By the way, why is Namibia so highly productive? I hadn't paid attention to this country before...

Kazakhstan holds the global nuclear energy by the throat. If this deal falls apart, all countries will be panicked.

Kazakhstan dominates the market, we need to be cautious --- China's 3.9% forcefully claims the loudest voice, this is the way to go --- Did Namibia and Canada suddenly appear on the map? --- Speaking of such concentrated supply chains, if something really happens, global energy will have to shake --- India is less than 1%? I thought it would be at least double digits --- Uranium mining is even more competitive than Bitcoin mining, the resource gap is so large --- The key is, how does Kazakhstan defend its 45%? If the geopolitics get messy, it's all over --- Will China just become self-sufficient? Seems unlikely

Kazakhstan's 45% monopoly? That's why energy politics are so harsh on the outside but soft on the inside.
