The main uranium ore is pitchblende or uraninite which is primarily composed of $ce{UO2}$ $ce{UO2}$ is ionically bonded together in a crystal structure and so it is definitely a compound and not a mixture However uraninite does contain small amounts of other compounds such as $ce{U3O8}$ and trace amounts of lead oxides and so the mineral as a whole is a mixture of compounds
