Republic of Niger
Republic of Niger producing uranium continuously since 1971, exporting to nuclear power utilities in France, United States and other global destinations
Favourable permitting environment
Supportive government with an established Mining Code and excellent in-county infrastructure including roads, grid power, and water supply as well as a trained work force as a legacy of over 50 years of uranium mining
Cash flow from recycling steel dust to produce zinc oxide concentrate: Befesa Silvermet JV
This JV is owned 49% by Global Atomic, is 51% owned and operated by Befesa Inc., a world leader in dust recycling
The Waelz Kiln has an annual throughput capacity 110,000 tonnes per annum able to produce 60 million pounds of zinc concentrate
The cost of the plant modernization and expansion in 2019 has been fully recovered from cash flow from operations
Improved availability of the operation’s primary feedstock—electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) from local steel mills—together with lower input costs, is driving profitable operations
Productivity at local steel mills, the source of EAFD, has stabilized since the earthquakes in early 2023 and the preceding COVID pandemic
