Uranium is extracted from ores and minerals using common procedures in chemical industry: grinding, dissolving in acids or bases, filtration, solvent extraction, extraction with ion exchangers, precipitation, drying, reduction with hydrogen etc.
no !
Silver is not extracted from uranium ores.
No
Now, probably all the uranium mines in Ontario are closed.

By filtration
Uranium is typically found in deposits in the Earth's crust. It can be recovered through mining, either through open-pit or underground methods, depending on the specific deposit. Once mined, the uranium ore is processed to extract the uranium and produce yellowcake, which is a concentrated form of uranium oxide.
Two common separation techniques used to extract uranium are solvent extraction and ion exchange. Solvent extraction involves using an organic solvent to selectively extract uranium from a liquid mixture, while ion exchange involves using a resin to selectively adsorb uranium ions.
The uranium used for the atomic bomb was primarily sourced from the Congo and later from mines in the US. The uranium ore was then processed to extract the isotope U-235 necessary for nuclear fission to create the bomb.
Yes, it is possible to extract more uranium.But the production is controlled by needs and prices.
It is impossible to know exactly this value; probably approx. 5.109 tons. But only a very small part of this quantity is economically to extract today.
The process of isolating polonium and radium from uranium ore is called "uranium ore processing" or "uranium enrichment." This involves a series of chemical and physical separation techniques to extract the desired elements from the ore.
