The government of Niger and French nuclear firm Orano on Thursday signed a deal to extend the operational life of the country's sole uranium mine. Orano is the restructured successor to the state-owned Areva, which began uranium mining in the former French colony around 50 years ago, extracting raw material intended mainly for France's nuclear industry.
