Niger Reallocates Uranium Mining Permits to State-Owned Entities

Niger's Council of Ministers has awarded a large uranium mining permit for the Arlit region to the state-owned Teloua Safeguarding Uranium Mining Company (TSUMCO SA). This follows the nationalization of SOMAÏR and the revocation of Orano's mining permits. Additionally, the Madouela project permit has been reallocated to the Madaouela Mining Company (MAMICO), a new entity in which the state of Niger holds a 40% stake.
