After 60 years of development, China has established its integrated technical system of uranium mining and metallurgical industry which is suitable for the characteristics of Chinese uranium resources. In recent years, the rapid development of Chinese nuclear power has given rise to an urgent demand for natural uranium products which enhances the innovation and development of Chinese uranium mining and metallurgy.This paper introduces the latest research and development progress of uranium conventional mining and metallurgy, heap leaching, in-situ leaching, in-place leaching, safety and environmental protection, and comprehensive recovery of polymetals associated with uranium in China. And the R&D direction of Chinese uranium mining and metallurgy is proposed.
