5JUL2024 Niger government withdraws GoviEx Uranium mining rights

The Vancouver-based company said it has been informed by the Minister of Mines, by letter, “that it no longer has rights over the perimeter of the Madaouela mining permit, which is now in the public domain”. GoviEx began operations in Niger in 2007, and has advanced Madaouela from the initial exploration phase, through a period of "historically low" uranium prices, to the publication of a feasibility study in late 2022, on the way completing some 650,000 metres of drilling to define a potential mineral resource which the company says is now amongst the largest known in the world. "With the recent recovery in uranium prices, the Madaouela Project was poised for development and the Company had started to advance despite the political changes in Niger since the coup d'Etat on 26 July 2023," GoviEx said.
