US approves $414M uranium investment in Niger, two years after troops left
The US Development Finance Corp approved a $414M debt facility for Canadian miner Global Atomic’s Dasa uranium project in Niger, aiming to secure strategic uranium supply. The project is the highest-grade uranium deposit in Africa, according to the company. The investment comes amid Niger's dispute with French miner Orano and strained US-Canada relations. Security and political risks remain due to recent mutiny attempts in Niger.
