This paper presents a collection of 31 new uranium minerals approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMMN) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) between January 2003 and December 2013. It lists the mineral names both in English and Chinese together with their structural formulae, crystal structure data, physical and optical properties, localities and modes of occurrence. The crystallochemical classification and characteristics of these new minerals are discussed. Some suggestions are put forward concerning China's uranium minerals research work in the hope of providing valuable reference for China's uranium researchers.
