Australia has the highest uranium deposits in the world, with significant reserves located in several states across the country. It is estimated to hold about 30% of the world's known uranium resources.
About 96% of known deposits are at six sites: Olympic Dam (the world's largest known uranium deposit), Ranger, Jabiluka, Koongarra, Kintyre and Yeelirrie. So this is were it is probably mined.

Roy Woodall headed Western Mining Corporation's Exploration Division in Australia for several decades. He retired in the mid 1990s. He is one of the greatest explorationists in the post-war era. An extremely intelligent, but unassuming and humble leader that allowed his teams great flexibility to focus on the big picture. At a conference in Kalgoorlie (Western Australia) he once said "Discovery begins with a Bold and Fertile Vision". A quote that resonates in the hearts and minds of a generation of geologists. He is credited with leading teams to the discovery of the world-class Kambalda Nickel Field, the Perserverance Nickel deposit, the Mt Keith and Rocky's Reward deposits and the what is arguably world's greatest polymetallic deposit the Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium deposit in South Australia.
