"Besides LNG, ITOCHU is keen to develop uranium mines and also is actively involved in uranium trading. As for our activities in Australia, we are involved in two uranium mining projects, namely Lake Maitland project (WA) and Gawler Craton project (SA). In addition, together with Australian company, ITOCHU is working on new uranium project though affiliate outside Australia as well. To achieve a low carbon society, nuclear energy is expected to be one of the most realistic solutions, with its established technology. We will work towards a continuous stable supply of uranium". From Itochu Australia web site (minerals and energy I think). As well as Japan Itochu is big in China. .
