As the country descended into chaos during the first days of 2022, the price of uranium thus rose by 8% on Wednesday January 5 to exceed $45, according to data from market analyst UxC, reported by Bloomberg.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nOpportunities in Africa\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nWhile the Kazakh state now claims that the situation is under control and that, for its part, the national company Kazatomprom has not indicated any disruption in its supply chain during the unrest, this type of situation can nevertheless encourage buyers to diversify. their sources of supply, with investments in new projects. It should be noted, however, that the uranium market is special, because nuclear power plants, which concentrate demand, make long-term supplies and remain little subject to temporary disturbances.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nWhile the energy transition is accelerating with its needs for low-carbon energy production, a renewed interest in nuclear power and therefore in untapped uranium reserves is still topical. Last year, these forecasts encouraged several companies active on projects, notably in Niger, Namibia or Malawi, to accelerate their activities to meet the increase in demand for fuel.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nAs for GoviEx, the company is targeting the start of commercial production for 2025 at the Nigerian Madaouela project, its most advanced African asset. A feasibility study should be completed by June 2022 for the start of construction work in 2023.\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":15,"featured_media":13864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[1115,745,1200,690],"location":[505],"class_list":["post-13863","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-actualite-2","tag-energy-2","tag-mining","tag-namibia","location-africa"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3nS8dYU","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"<p class=\"p1\">As the world's largest producer of uranium, Kazakhstan went through a major social crisis at the start of the year.
