Australian uranium exploration company, Oklo Uranium Limited (ASX: OKU), is pleased to announce that the company is continuing to expand its uranium interests in west Africa, with the submission of three Exploration Permits in Niger. This
brings the total number of Exploration Permit applications in Niger to six, three previously being lodged in June 2007. Niger produces approximately 9% of the world’s uranium and has produced uranium for over 40 years.
Applications for the three new applications, together with the original applications, are subject to approval of the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Niger. The original applications are in an advanced stage of processing. The new
applications are expected to take approximately three months for approval.
Oklo’s Managing Director, Ross Brown, said, “Our strategy in west Africa is multifaceted, satisfying both short-term and long-term positions in uranium exploration and development. The potential benefit of developing prospects in the
vicinity of existing uranium mines is self-evident, both in terms of utilising existing infrastructure and having access to processing facilities.”
