Radioactive Revenues: Financial Flows between Uranium Mining Companies and African Governments - 493 KB
 

In 2009, Africa’s share of worldwide uranium mining amounted to 17%, with the vast majority of uranium production taking place four African host states: Niger, Namibia, Malawi and South Africa. During the period 2009–2012, uranium production within these four host states is expected to increase by a staggering 118%. During the period 2005–2009, four multinational corporations accounted for the vast majority of African uranium production. They were the French AREVA group, the Anglo-Australian Rio Tinto, the Australian company Paladin Energy and the South Africa-based AngloGold Ashanti. These four corporations are likely to continue to be the dominant players at least through 2012. These four African host states and four multinational corporations are the focus research in this report by the Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations.
