GoviEx Uranium Inc. (GVXXF) is a mineral resource company focused on uranium exploration in Africa. With key projects in Niger and Zambia, including the Madaouela Project in Niger nearing construction and the Mutanga Project in Zambia gearing up for its feasibility study completion, GoviEx is a significant player in the global nuclear energy market. Committed to sustainable development and strategically positioned in Africa, the company aims to address the rising demand for clean energy, especially from Far East Asia, shaping the future of nuclear power generation.
GoviEx Uranium announced that the Government of Niger has revoked its rights to the Madaouela mining permit, placing the permit area in the public domain without following the prescribed withdrawal procedure. GoviEx plans to challenge this decision through national or international legal avenues. The company has invested heavily in the Madaouela Project, including a 650,000-meter drilling campaign and a feasibility study published in 2022. Despite recent uranium price recovery and substantial development efforts, including a $200 million financing interest, environmental assessments, and initial groundworks, the project now faces significant setbacks. GoviEx argues that the revocation will negatively impact Niger's economic and social development, noting that the Madaouela Project was expected to create 800 jobs and require an initial capital expenditure of $343 million. Meanwhile, GoviEx continues to advance its Muntanga project in Zambia, with a feasibility study expected in late 2024.
GoviEx Uranium has received a radiological certificate from the Nigerien Government for its Madaouela uranium project. This regulatory milestone confirms the completion of radiological baseline studies, enabling the start of mining operations.
The project will require an initial capital expenditure of $343 million and is expected to create up to 800 jobs over its 20-year lifespan. Additionally, it will contribute substantial royalties and taxes to the Nigerien Government, which has a 20% stake in the local company COMIMA SA set up for the project.
The information has been verified by GoviEx's Chief Geologist, Jerome Randabel, as per Canadian NI 43-101 standards.
