2.3.1 Mining The group’s mining activities concern the production and commercialization of natural uranium, which is used after conversion and enrichment to produce fuel for nuclear reactors. The principal operational businesses of the Mining business follow the lifecycle of a mine, i.e. : ● exploration: search for new deposits; ● development of mining projects: detailed studies, procurement and construction;

● production: extraction, using various mining techniques, followed by processing of uranium ore (concentration of natural uranium by chemical means); ● site redevelopment and conversion after operation: rehabilitation of mining sites in accordance with current environmental standards, followed by environmental monitoring.
