8. Malawi

Export: 1,686 tons in 2013

The greatest share of uranium output in Malawi comes from Kayelekera mine which is owned by Paladin Energy, an Australian company. The mine started to operate in 2009, and in following years, considerably contributed to the country’s export. In 2013, it made a profit of $169.9 million, while a year later earnings dropped by 320% to $40.4 million due to Paladin decision to stop the production and put the mine in the mode of care and maintenance because of low uranium prices.
