There are currently 10.1 million acres of identified uranium resource areas in the United States, of which only 0.2 percent are located in the Grand Canyon mineral withdrawal area. (Identified areas do not represent quantity, quality, or availability of uranium resources.) Uranium resource areas are areas speculated to contain uranium. These are different from uranium reserves and estimated resources, which reflect actual or speculative quantities of uranium based on sampling or extrapolation from existing data. We mapped the uranium resource areas because data about the locations of reserves and estimated resources are not publicly available.
