The present production of thorium is almost entirely as a by–product of rare earth extraction from monazite sand (Patra, 2014). The mining and extraction of thorium is relatively easy. Wet mining operation involving the use of Dredger and Wet Concentrator (DWC) is carried out to exploit the inland deposits away from the beaches.

Thorium can usually be present as anhydrous phosphates or oxides in monazite and the amount was variable (4–12 wt.%) depending on the mineralogical origin of the ore . Majority of monazite mining is concentrated on placer deposits because of the ease of mining and their higher concentrations than in hard rock deposits.

Australian uranium production will fall by about 30 per cent (approximately 1900 tU p.a.) in the short to medium term due to the cessation of mining at the Ranger mine. All of Australia's domestic production is exported. As of January 2021, new mining is proposed at Boss Energy's Honeymoon project (South Australia).

Typically, 3 to 5 percent of the metal content of monazite is thorium (in the form of thorium dioxide, ThO 2). Much of the world's current demand for thorium metal and its compounds is satisfied by mining placers along India's Malabar Coast, where wave action deposits monazite as a coarse yellow-to-brown sand on beaches.
