Niger Temporarily Stops Granting New Mining Licenses for Natural Resources
Niger Temporarily Stops Granting New Mining Licenses for Mineral Resource - The Niger junta, led by General Abdourahmane Tchiani since the July 2023 coup, has implemented a range of changes impacting various aspects of the country. Politically, they dissolved the parliament, suspended the constitution, and detained ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, while promising a return to civilian rule within three years. Security-wise, they revamped the military leadership, severed ties with France's Barkhane counter-terrorism operation, and sought closer defence alliances with fellow junta-governed Mali and Burkina Faso. Economically, they imposed sanctions on Bazoum's allies, renegotiated mining contracts, and attempted to curb corruption. These changes met with mixed reactions domestically and inter...

Orano signs deal to extend uranium mining in Niger
The government of Niger and Orano Mining has signed a global partnership agreement.
This deal aims to strengthen their collaboration in the uranium sector and address several topics of mutual interest, including the Imouraren project, SOMAÏR mine operations, remediation of COMINAK, and Orano's social commitments in Niger.
The agreement means the SOMAIR mine in northern Niger could continue working until 2040, 11 years beyond its expected closure.
For the Imouraren project, Orano will explore future mining options with an investment budget of 85 million euros to demonstrate the in-situ recovery method's technical, environmental, and economic applicability.
This method would improve the project's economic balance, reduce risks, and significantly lower its environmental footprint.

Niger Temporarily Stops Granting New Mining Licenses for Mineral Resource - The Niger junta, led by General Abdourahmane Tchiani since the July 2023 coup, has implemented a range of changes impacting various aspects of the country. Politically, they dissolved the parliament, suspended the constitution, and detained ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, while promising a return to civilian rule within three years. Security-wise, they revamped the military leadership, severed ties with France's Barkhane counter-terrorism operation, and sought closer defence alliances with fellow junta-governed Mali and Burkina Faso. Economically, they imposed sanctions on Bazoum's allies, renegotiated mining contracts, and attempted to curb corruption. These changes met with mixed reactions domestically and internationally, highlight the junta's bid to consolidate power and reshape Niger's political and socio-economic landscape. And the junta has made another bold move, temporarily suspending the granting of new mining licenses. But why is the junta launching such a major mining sector overhaul? In today's video, we will shed more light on this question and many more.
Niger's self-declared military administration has temporarily halted the issuance of new mining licenses, as announced by the country’s Ministry of Mines. According to Reuters, the ministry initially did not specify the reason behind the suspension of licenses. However, the Ministry later came out to clarify that the temporary halting of the issuance of new mining licenses is the first step in an audit of Niger’s mining sector as it seeks to boost government revenue. A memo from the mining ministry seen by various news outlets also revealed that the country wants to take stock of existing mining licenses. “We’re trying to figure out who holds the mining licenses and what reforms need to be implemented in order for the state to increase its profits,” Fatimata Korgom, the deputy secretary general at the mining ministry said in a voice note shared by a junta spokesman.

The government of Niger and Orano Mining has signed a global partnership agreement.
This deal aims to strengthen their collaboration in the uranium sector and address several topics of mutual interest, including the Imouraren project, SOMAÏR mine operations, remediation of COMINAK, and Orano's social commitments in Niger.
The agreement means the SOMAIR mine in northern Niger could continue working until 2040, 11 years beyond its expected closure.
For the Imouraren project, Orano will explore future mining options with an investment budget of 85 million euros to demonstrate the in-situ recovery method's technical, environmental, and economic applicability.
This method would improve the project's economic balance, reduce risks, and significantly lower its environmental footprint.
Additionally, the agreement focuses on three social components: Improving skills, promoting young girls' education through the development of boarding school places and Economic development in the energy sector.
With an investment of 40 million euros, these projects are expected to be implemented by 2030.
Nicolas Maes, CEO of Orano Mining, commented:
"We are particularly pleased with this agreement which confirms the major role of Niger in the global uranium industry. This agreement renews and sets out future directions for Orano's dual industrial and social commitment in Niger. It is also a testament to our responsible approach, both in the quality of the work to rehabilitate the Cominak site and in the ambitious plan for the Imouraren deposit."
