"Namibian uranium can be sold to both Eastern and Western markets, and we intend to keep it that way, the exception being that we will not sell uranium to Russia."
"Sustainability is increasingly important to high-end retailers and jewelers, many of whom now commit to sourcing only from companies working toward net-zero carbon footprints. Lipari meets that standard."
CHAIRMAN, SOUTH AFRICA & REGIONAL COORDINATOR (AFRICA), SRK GLOBAL
"We have learnt a lot about working with Chinese companies, who often preferred to work with contractors back home. We responded by working closely with the SRK Beijing office and creating a multi-country team involving South Africa, DRC and China – which has opened many doors."
"We expanded our business in West Africa and built our largest mine to date at a time when the markets were risk averse. Being counter-cyclical takes both discipline and guts, but it pays off and we are now reaping the benefits."
"With a producing mine in Namibia and an exciting near-term development uranium project in Canada, along with other assets in that country, Paladin now has geographical diversification and a multi-decade production pipeline."
"Over the next five to 10 years, I believe Ethiopia will rise to become a huge mining jurisdiction, absorbing much of that capital that is being pulled out of West Africa."
"We are noting a greater push from financial institutions like Afreximbank for African development through Indigenous companies, and we are sure to be one of these, providing top-tier services on world-class projects that will outlast us."
"All countries we operate in, including Mali, are trying to make it better for their young populations while also encouraging foreign investment. They don’t want aid; they want investment."
"In a high-risk, high-capital sector like mining, getting that perspective from an experienced partner with decades of hands-on experience can be game-changing."
