On December 19, 2024, Niger signed an agreement with Canadian company Global Atomic for the annual delivery of 260,000 pounds of uranium over three years starting in 2026, from the Dasa mine. This deal underscores Niger’s continued commercial ties with Europe and North America despite diplomatic tensions leading to the departure of French operators. The country remains a key player in the global uranium market, supported by growing demand tied to decarbonization goals.
