American Uranium Project in Niger Opens Export Path Through Algeria
Canadian company Global Atomic is looking into a route through Algeria and the Sahara to export production from the 'Dasa' uranium project in Niger, at a time when the project has secured a U.S. funding commitment of $414 million, according to Reuters. The project aims to develop one of the most prominent uranium deposits in Niger, where the company faces security and logistical challenges due to the country's landlocked status, as well as increasing risks facing transport routes to the coast. In this context, Global Atomic is exploring alternative export options, including investing in a northern route that passes through Algeria and the Sahara.
