FYI.
Mauritania

The WNA describes Mauritania as a relatively promising country for uranium production. One key company operating there is Aura Energy (ASX:AEE), an Australian company that the Mauritanian government has welcomed on an official level. Its Reguibat project is a greenfields calcrete uranium discovery with a current resource of 49 million pounds.

In its recent annual survey, the Fraser Institute identifies Mauritania as a top African country for mining. However, the nation ranks fairly low on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index; it holds an overall rank of 173.
