The area covered by the mining agreement is described as Saraya East and is 2992 km² in extent. The area was extensively explored by COGEMA and France’s BRGM in a three phase programme during the late 1950s, 1970s and early 1980s. Uranium mineralization was identified as being episyenite hosted, which resulted from the hydrothermal remobilization and alteration of the surrounding granites. A historical resource estimate of approximately 1500 tU at an average grade of 0.20% U was reported by COGEMA.

However, the project was uneconomic to mine at the uranium prices prevailing at the time. Over 40 000 m of drilling were completed in the area. Recorded intersections are at depths of 50–220 m. In 2007, France’s UraMin entered into a mining agreement with Senegal to prospect for and, if economically viable, mine uranium and related minerals in the Saraya East region of eastern Senegal.

3.41.3. Uranium resources There are no reported uranium resources in Senegal. In 1983, IUREP reported speculative resources in the range 1000–10 000 tU [41.5].

historical resource estimate of approximately 1500 tU at an average grade of 0.20% U was reported by COGEMA at the Saraya deposit. The UDEPO database lists the most significant deposit for Senegal as Saraya.
