Uranium 2013: A review of the uranium mining industry in Africa

Has PDF By:  
 
Despite safety fears and some countries pursuing the phase-out of nuclear energy in favour of renewable-energy sources and coal-fired power generation, 437 nuclear power reactors remained in operation worldwide in 2012. Further, as at July 2013, there were 162 new nuclear power reactors on order or being planned and a further 316 proposed worldwide. This potential nuclear energy expansion will create increased demand for uranium to power these plants. This report examines the global uranium market in the context of demand, supply, pricing and market outlook, with a particular focus on the African uranium market and the mines, projects and exploration that are currently under way on the continent.
