Gold and uranium

Mali's gold belt — roughly 80 per cent of exports and the state's indispensable revenue — and Niger's uranium district, the asset at the centre of the state's dispute with its operator and a tribunal.

Context, not targeting. A system record names published markers and published operators and states dependencies at the level a published institution does. It carries no facility-level capacity, vulnerability, protection or repair detail; the schema has no field for any of it.

ما هذه المنظومة

Gold is roughly 80 per cent of Mali's exports, concentrated in the western belt around Kayes and Kéniéba, and the junta has squeezed the sector hard; Niger's uranium at Arlit passed to state operational control in December 2024 and was declared nationalised in June 2025. Both are fiscal bases under pressure.

The fiscal base of two of the three AES states, and the arena in which the juntas' terms with foreign operators are being set.

المنظومة

نظرة عامة
In Mali, a 2023 mining code raising the state's take was followed by a two-year confrontation with Barrick over the Loulo–Gounkoto complex — provisional administration, an ICSID arbitration, and a settlement in November 2025 in which the company paid roughly US$430m in total, withdrew its claims and accepted the code in exchange for a ten-year permit extension and restored operational control, regained on 18 December 2025. In Niger, Orano halted output at Arlit in October 2024, the mine passed to Nigerien operational control in December 2024, nationalisation was announced in June 2025, and an ICSID tribunal has ordered Niger not to sell the stockpiled uranium pending Orano's claims — an order the state has said on television it intends to disregard. The signal to foreign operators across the Sahel is the module's reading of both.
Current state · as of 2026-08
Mali: Loulo–Gounkoto restarted at the end of 2025, permit renewed in February 2026, 2026 guidance of 260,000 to 290,000 attributable ounces. Niger: the uranium dispute unresolved and conducted in public, as of August 2026.

Dependencies and constraints

Each marked documented (a published source states it) or assessed (Vigil infers it and says so). The two are never drawn the same way.
