Global Atomic Updates the Situation in The Republic of Niger

31.07.2023  |  CNW

TORONTO, July 31, 2023 - Global Atomic Corp. ("Global Atomic" or the "Company"); (TSX: GLO) (Frankfurt: G12) (OTCQX: GLATF) announced today that its entire team in the Republic of Niger is safe and that the Dasa Project remains fully engaged in opening up access to the ore body and preparing the plant site for construction.

Stephen Roman, President & CEO of Global Atomic stated, "While the situation in Niger remains volatile and there has been protesting in some parts of the capital, the rest of the country remains calm. Importantly, our people remain safe and normal business is being conducted at our offices and development of the Dasa Project continues."

Specifically at the Dasa Project:

  • As of July 28, the mining team has opened up over 600 meters of underground development, including over 20 meters in preparation for the commencement of an 80 meter Alimak raise, which will form the main ventilation development for the Dasa Mine.
  • The second fleet of mining equipment has arrived in Niger and is being shipped to the project site.
  • Surface and underground mine infrastructure including mine dry, ventilation infrastructure, electrical and plumbing installations are underway.
  • To prepare for civil engineering and the pouring of cement related to the processing plant, earthworks began in Q2 2023.

"The neighbouring African countries union, ECOWAS, as well as the EU and USA have voiced their opinions to the Niger Junta currently running the Country and given a directive that the President and his Ministers be returned to power in 7 days. It is too early to speculate on the outcome of this mandate. In the meantime, the Global Atomic Board and Management team, as well as SOMIDA Management in Niger are closely monitoring the situation."

"We hope for a timely and successful resolution to this unexpected event", said Mr. Roman.
