AREVA Gabon: discovering new deposits
AREVA is currently leading uranium exploration campaigns in Gabon. Depending on the significance of the discoveries, the group may one day again be able to mine uranium deposits in the country.
From 1961 to 1999, COMUF produced 26,660 metric tons of uranium in southeastern Gabon. AREVA, operator since 1986, undertook the reclamation of the sites when activities stopped in 1999.
In 2006, AREVA obtained 3 prospecting permits and began its uranium exploration in Gabon again. In just 2 years, AREVA has invested 3.3 million euros in the new prospecting regions.
In 2008, 4 requests for prospecting permits were made, based on the prospecting permits delivered 2 years earlier.
At the same time, AREVA Gabon SA, a 100% subsidiary of AREVA, was founded in 2008, installing headquarters in Franceville, in the Haut-Ogooué province. This new AREVA group structure in Gabon will be tasked with bringing to light any possible undiscovered uranium-bearing areas and prepare for the subsequent mining thereof.
To date, AREVA Gabon has obtained 3 exploration permits for the following sites:
- Mopia
- Andjogo
- Lekabi
A fourth permit for the N'Goutou site is also being requested.
