The Zambian government has reinstated the mining licence for Vancouver-based GoviEx Uranium’s Chirundu property – a move welcomed as part of the African country’s plans to include uranium and clean baseload nuclear power as part of its economic development plans.
GoviEx acquired Chirundu, which hosts the Njame and Gwabe deposits, from African Energy Resources in October 2017.
The licence was cancelled in July 2020 and its reinstatement is subject to the completion of exploration and development milestones that will advance the licence towards a final feasibility study.
