At the COP28 conducted last year, two dozen nations declared they would triple their nuclear energy output by 2050, creating a demand for nuclear fuel. Since Kazakhstan does not enrich the uranium it mines, countries are dependent on Russia and China for enriched uranium for their nuclear reactors.

Canada has the technological know-how to supply enriched uranium. It also provides an alternative to countries that do not wish to trade with Russia or China but still secure their nuclear fuel.
