Saskatchewanâs major uranium deposits are located in the northern part of the province. Historically, uranium ore was mined on the northern side of Lake Athabasca between 1950 and 1980, a region centered around Uranium City. Additionally, some of the richest uranium mines discovered in Canada began operations in the 1980s on the southeastern side of Lake Athabasca.12
