Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, Feb. 24, 2023 /CNW/ – Global Atomic Corporation (“Global Atomic” or the “Company”) (TSX: GLO) (FRANKFURT: G12) announced that the Appeals Court in Tahoua, Niger overturned and annulled all issues raised against the Company’s Niger subsidiary, SOMIDA S.A. 

As the Dasa Project is of major importance to the economy of Niger, the Hearing was treated as a special case and resulted in an expedited ruling. 

SOMIDA did not cease underground development of the Dasa Mine due to the court proceedings and remains on its development schedule.
