See the link below for uranium mines; the preparation of pure uranium metal (or other compounds) from ores is a long and expensive work.
Chemical engineering processes and other processes are of course involved: radiometric sorting, grinding, dissolving, filtration, separation with ion exchangers, separation by solvent extraction, precipitation, calcination, etc.

Is nuclear power same as uranium?
Uranium (as metal, dioxide, carbide, etc.) is the nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors; plutonium is obtained also from uranium 238 and thorium 232 generate uranium 233.
Can uranium be prepared in laboratory?
Yes, although you'll need special equipment depending on what you'd like to prepare the uranium for. - in a nuclear physics laboratory artificial uranium isotopes can be obtained - if you think to the preparation of uranium (as a metal) from other compounds this is very possible but not in a simple laboratory - uranium has 3 natural isotopes
Is uranium non flammable?
Uranium is toxic and radioactive; also uranium is pyrophoric in powdered form or in high speed projectiles on impact.
Is protactinium mined?
In the past protactinium was extracted as a by-product from uranium ores. Today is obtained by a nuclear reaction in reactor.
How much money for pure uranium?
A price list for uranium certified materials is at: http://www.nbl.doe.gov/htm/lists/certified_reference_materials_price_list.htm Industrial uranium is not so expensive, the price depend essentially of enrichment. As an example, uranium dioxide powder - natural uranium, nuclear grade for HWPR reactors, is about 70 $/kg but the price is very variable in time.
Are uranium and plutonium easily obtained?
Uranium is not easily obtained; and the technology of plutonium is extremely difficult.
What is uranium's shape?
Being a metal uranium can be obtained in any shape desired.
Who discovered uranium and what was the date?
Martin Heinrich Klaproth obtained the oxide of uranium - U3O8 in 1789; but the pure element was obtained in 1841 by Eugene-Melchior Peligot.
How do you make uranium on alchemy classic?
Uranium as a pure metallic element was obtained after the alchemic period; alchemists don't know uranium.
How is polonium obtained?
The first time polonium was obtained by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898, separating polonium from uranium ores. Now polonium is obtained by nuclear reactions.
What was polonium obtained from?
In the past polonium was obtained from the residues of uranium ores, after extraction of uranium.Now polonium is obtained only by nuclear reactions.
Where can yellowcake uranium be obtained by a private individual?
Legally impossible.
Which is the only state of India from where uranium is obtained?

Where discovered uranium?
Uranium was discovered by Martin Klaproth in 1789 (in the form of an oxide) in Germany. In 1841 Eugene Peligot in France obtained pure uranium metal.
