  "notes": "Niger's only producing uranium mine, an open pit at Arlit operating since the 1970s. Orano held 63.4% until the Niger government nationalised it in June 2025; exports had already been halted since July 2023. The loss of Niger removed a long-standing pillar of French fuel supply, and is why Orano's Kazakh joint venture now matters so much more to it.\n",
