There is also plenty of thorium easily recoverable. The primary problem is that we need to move on to next generation reactors. Fertile martial availability is really not the problem and will not be for a very long time.
With a thermal breeder design reactors we easily have 1000s of years of material.
And in fact volcanic activity will push new thorium up as well. The idea that we can run out of fertile material is mostly just not relevant.
