Orano Canada has been exploring for uranium, developing mines and producing uranium concentrate for more than 55 years. Headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, we are a leading producer of uranium in Canada. The Orano-operated McClean Lake mill is a unique facility that allows for the processing of high-grade uranium ore without dilution. We acknowledge that Orano Canada’s activities are conducted on Treaty 6, Treaty 8 and Treaty 10 Territory, and Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respects to the First Nations and Métis ancestors of this land and, in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration, reaffirm our relationship and commitment to working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples.
Production
Orano Canada relies on its extensive experience and cutting-edge techniques and innovation to extract uranium from deep in the ground and process the ore to produce uranium concentrate known as “yellowcake”.
