| Orano signs a Protocol for the development and operation of a uranium mine project in Mongolia |
|  |
Orano signed a Protocol for the development and operation of a uranium mine project in Mongolia The signing took place at a ceremony at the Elysée Palace on 12 October 2023 in the presence of Mr. Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic and of Mr. Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh, President of Mongolia, as well as of Claude Imauven, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Orano, and of Sanjaagiin Narantsogt, CEO of Erdenes Mongol LLC.
This Protocol sets out the framework for an investment agreement that will be mutually beneficial to both partners. The envisaged investment agreement will lay the foundations for a relationship between Orano, and the Mongolian Government set to span several decades, in the development and industrial operation of the Zuuvch-Ovoo uranium mine project located in the Southwestern part of Mongolia, in Dornogovi province. The investment agreement is expected to be signed by the end of the year.
With a 25-year long presence in the country, responsible mining player Orano successfully deployed an industrial pilot in 2021 and 2022, confirming the economic, environmental and societal feasibility of operating the Zuuvch-Ovoo site, a project developed by Badrakh Energy, the joint venture between Orano Mining and the Mongolian state-owned company MonAtom.
The joint Franco-Mongolian project will be based on international standards and best practices in terms of safety, security and the environment, setting a benchmark for the development of the industry in Mongolia.
Through this project, Orano is committed over the long term, alongside communities for responsible mining with a development and cooperation program in favor of local populations.
With the prospect of high uranium demand worldwide over the next few decades, Mongolia is positioning itself as a strategic player and a significant contributor in the global climate effort.
Claude Imauven commented: "I am very proud to sign this protocol today, which extends a relationship we have had with Mongolia for over 25 years. The signature marks a decisive step in this historic partnership.This cooperation will enable us to develop the uranium sector in Mongolia while furthering the Group's strategy of diversifying its mining activities.” |

|  |
"Mining Week-2023", a conference to share the latest news and information on the mining industry, which is a pillar of Mongolia's economy is taking place on October 9-13.
The Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry and the Mongolian National Mining Association are jointly organizing this year's conference. The conference aims to attract investment, provide investors with government policy and legal reforms of the industry, present new projects, market trends, and the investment environment, openly discuss and seek solutions for the issues facing the industry, and to outlook future development.
More than 300 representatives from 20 countries and more than 3,000 from enterprises and organizations of Mongolia are participating in the conference.
Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry J. Ganbaatar called on investors to invest in the mining sector of Mongolia for mutual benefits, noting that the Government of Mongolia is working to create a favorable environment for long-term stable investment.
In addition to investment, Mining Week-2023 is highlighting transparent and responsible mining. Within the framework of the "New Revival Policy", the Government is focusing on increasing ports, building paved roads, improving infrastructure and logistics, expanding the railway network, shifting the mining sector from extraction to processing, and intensifying industrialization.
At the Conference, representatives of the Government and the private sector made presentations for discussion on the international competitiveness of the mineral resources sector, the investment environment, legal reforms, transportation of mining products, responsible mining, and the environment.
The mining sector dominates the economic sector, making up 23.6 percent of Mongolia's gross domestic product, 24.8 percent of budget revenue, 93.7 percent of total exports, and 82.5 percent of foreign direct investment alone.
The mining exchange system for the open sale of minerals provides an opportunity for export trade to be transparent, and fair, and to trade the products at global market prices. Legal reform continues in the mining sector, the main driver of today’s economy of Mongolia. Specifically, drafts of the Law on Subsoil, the Law on Minerals, the Law on Heavy Industry, and the Law on the National Wealth Fund have been developed, open discussions are being held at the level of the public and stakeholders, receiving opinions of scholars and researchers.
