Uranium Country Notes

Algeria

Uranium exploration began in 1969, with an aerial radiometric survey in 1971 leading to the identification of numerous promising areas. However, follow-up investigations gradually petered out, and there has been no exploration or prospecting activity in recent years. In-situ RAR at less than US$ 80/kgU have been assessed as 26 000 tonnes U, of which an estimated 75% is recoverable, but no production has ensued.
