An agreement for Mitsubishi Corporation to take an equity interest has also been signed.

Present in the country since 1997, AREVA has carried out exploration work resulting in the discovery of two uranium deposits in the province of Dornogobi, Dulaan Uul and Zoovch Ovoo, whose resources are estimated at 60,000 tonnes. Luc Oursel declared that: “This collaboration, which also involves our partner Mitsubishi Corporation, is strategic on two levels. It will enable us to develop the uranium sector in Mongolia and to pursue the geographic diversification of AREVA’s mining activities.”
