Niger: GoviEx applies for Madaouela uranium mining
Thursday, 02 July 2015 11:16
GoviEx Uranium Inc, a Canadian mining company in operation on the uranium deposit in Niger announced on 30 June that it has applied for a mining permit for the Madaouela uranium, Arlit uranium mining district, in the north of Niger.
This application to the Niger government is "a decisive step in the development process" of this project, as explained by Daniel Major, CEO of GoviEx. According to its analysis, the Madaouela project could potentially supply the international market and this could be achieved when the time is right.
GoviEx Uranium has amongst its principal shareholders Cameco Corporation and Toshiba Corporation with 19.42% shareholding.
Its objective is to become a major uranium producer through the mining and sustainable development of the Madaouela project and its other uranium sites in Niger.
GoviEx Niger Holdings Ltd, its fully-owned subsidiary, has 100% of the Madaouela mining rights, a project located in the Tim Mersoi basin covering the majority of Western Niger and extending to Algeria, Mali, Benin and Nigeria.
