What China National Uranium does

How China National Uranium makes money

It earns revenue by selling natural uranium produced from its own mining and smelting operations, and by trading uranium sourced domestically and internationally. Additional income comes from co-product mineral sales such as rare earth chloride, ammonium tetramolybdate, and tantalum and niobium oxides.
