IAEA MOROCCO

IAEA Infrastructure Key activities - Exploration History : CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique )-BRPM (Now ONHYM)  Uranium exploration programs on Hercynian granites, phosphate and coal basins, deposit ( Pitchblende ) and Bou Azzer cobalt deposit (Brannerite) : Important exploration programs were carried out by BRPM (Now ONHYM) with the assistance of IAEA, the Soviet Technoexport and the Japanese JICA : Airborne Geophysical Survey conducted by ONHYM ( km2) and PNCG Mining Ministry ( km2) in coastal of Laa ̂ youne Dakhla basin : Using those support of the geological controls conduct to identify several uranium showings. - MINING PERMITS ONHYM has more than 80 research permits of 7th category distributed on the main uranium shows identified in Morocco

IAEA Value Propositions MOROCCAN URANIUM PHOSPHATES - Phosphates were discovered in Morocco in The phosphates have always been exploited by the Moroccan OCP Group (Office Chérifien des Phosphates) created in OCP has the monopoly on mining, processing and marketing of phosphates. - Morocco holds 75% of Phosphate world reserves (85 billion tons) - It produces around tons/year - Uranium prospecting began in Morocco at the end of the second world war. - the uranium content in Moroccan phosphates was discovered in Moroccan phosphate contains uranium at varying concentrations, - usually between 100 and 150 ppm.In some deposits concentrations.

IAEA Value Propositions ° MOROCCAN URANIUM PHOSPHATES - There are approximately 400 wet process phosphoric acid plants in operation worldwide. - There is already a substantial feedback on uranium recovering from phosphoric acid. - Eight plants for the recovery of uranium from phosphoric acid have been built and operated in the US since 1976 : 6 in Florida, 2 in Louisiana Plants have also been built in Canada, Spain, Belgium... - The estimated world annual capacity of uranium phosphates production is about 3700 tons. - The Belgian company PRAYON has recovered 690 tons (min.) uranium from Moroccan phosphates. - Morocco can be the world leader by producing 2840 tons annually. On Oct.22,2007,Areva signed an agreement with OCP to develop their cooperation and research initiatives regarding extraction of uranium contained in phosphoric acid produced from Moroccan phosphate ore.
