No critical mass underground; but as a curiosity read about the Oklo phenomenon.
Uranium is captured through a process called uranium mining, which involves extracting uranium ore from the ground. This ore is then processed to separate the uranium from other minerals and impurities. The uranium is further refined and enriched to be used in various applications, such as nuclear power generation.
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.
A Wikipedia article (see link below) gives the concentration of uranium in ore as 0.01 to 0.25 percent, which is a wide range. If we take 0.1 percent as typical, then 1 tonne (1000Kg) of ore would produce 1 Kg of uranium. This is natural uranium, which is normally enriched by about six times to produce suitable enriched uranium for fuel, so you can say that about 6 tonnes of ore would be needed to give 1 Kg of enriched uranium, but there is considerable variation of this from one source of ore to another
The ore you get uranium from is called pitchblende or uraninite. Uranium is extracted from these ores through a process called milling, where the uranium is separated from the rock and concentrated into yellowcake, a uranium oxide concentrate.
Uranium ore - Uraninite - has a black streak and a hardness of 5 to 6, which is about the same as steel.
Uranium-235 is found in nature at about 0.7% concentration to uranium-238.
No, iron ore and uranium ore are two different types of ores. Iron ore is a mineral that is a source of iron while uranium ore is a mineral that contains uranium, a radioactive element used for nuclear energy production.

An important ore of uranium is called Pitchblende.
The abundance of U-235 in most uranium ore is about 0.7.

Silver is not extracted from uranium ores.

Uraninite, AKA pitchblende, is an ore of uranium.

Yes, uranium ores are available in many countries.
The first stage of the nuclear fuel cycle is mining and milling, where uranium ore is extracted from the ground and processed to produce yellowcake, a concentrated form of uranium oxide.
