Madison Metals Inc.
Namibian Projects.
MINING IN NAMIBIA.
The country hosts significant uranium mines and projects at various stages of development and accounts for approximately 8% of the world’s uranium production. In 2021, Namibia produced approximately 9.6 million pounds of U3O8.
Namibia is a mining friendly jurisdiction, and the uranium mining opperators have built excellent infrastructure to support mining activities including a seaport, airport, well-established road network, water and power. In addition, mining accounts for 25% of Namibia’s income.
Madison is committed to top-level mining practices that will surpass country guidelines to minimize environmental impact. Madison’s desert location means the company will not relocate communities, wildlife or destroy large amounts of vegetation.
