Russian news agency TASS also confirmed talks took place with respect to an estimated 2,000 tonnes of uranium concentrate produced from the Somaïr mine.\nThe open-pit operation is currently under Niger control after a forced takeover by the military government in late 2024. Prior to that, Orano held a 63.4% interest in the mining venture, with the remaining 36.6% owned by the Nigerien state company Sopamin.\nTo challenge the mine seizure, Orano filed an arbitration with the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which subsequently ordered that the mined uranium must not be sold or transferred to third parties without Orano’s consent.\nHowever, tensions between the parties may have somewhat eased after Bloomberg reported on Saturday that Niger’s government is ready to send back about 95,000 tonnes of uranium concentrates to Orano.\n\nOrano says uranium convoy from seized Niger mine poses safety risks\n\nSecurity analysts and diplomats warn that the location of Niger’s unsold stockpile poses significant dangers. In January, a group of Islamic State-linked militants came dangerously close to the uranium stockpile after it staged an attack on the capital, underscoring the threat posed by insurgent groups in and around Niger’s capital.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2612481913","isCrawlerRequest":true}
