Mongolia also welcomed Indian participation in the mining of coal, coking coal and other minerals in Mongolia.

India offered a short course on radiography for Mongolian personnel at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai and assistance to set up a regulatory and radiation protection framework in Mongolia.

Well, that was a brief summary of Indian overseas activities regarding Uranium mining in the previous year and this year till now.I ve left the deals that were made before that,ike deals with South-Africa and Russia.
I didnt summerise it myself.Got the data from this website
Hope u all like it..

 

[Red Dwarf]

Just for some clarification. Is there any pressure on Mongolia from China against this deal.

 

[jeypore]

considering the manner in which India would begin uranium mining in Mongolia.

Intersenting steps taken by India, infact I am surprised by it. First establishment of Listening towers, now minning Uranium. I predicted a base before economic agreement.

 

[RobbieS]

Great going. A much needed fillip to our civilian nuclear capabilities.

I am usually not the one to give in to emotions and I hope the mods dont mind my language, but the Aussies can go f@#$ themselves...!

Malawi for joint uranium exploration with India

India and Malawi can work together to explore uranium sites as this country has huge deposits of the mineral, Vice President Joyce Banda said on Friday night.

Her statement came after the two countries inked three pacts in fields like agriculture and small enterprises during Vice President Hamid Ansari’s three-day visit here as part of his tri-nation week-long Africa tour.

“We have discovered Malawi has huge deposits of uranium. We can work with Indian government to explore other sites of uranium deposits,” Ms. Banda said replying to a query on what kind of assistance the country wants from New Delhi.

While India has proposed a Memorandum of Understanding in the field of coal resources, Malawi has suggested that the scope of the MoU should be expanded to include development of other mineral resources such as uranium, which is an important source of energy, she said.

“What is paramount for Malawi is energy security. Mining of uranium is just a component of energy. Uranium is just a part of the larger picture,” she said.

Mr. Ansari, meanwhile, left for Botswana on Saturday on the final leg of his southern Africa tour, which had also taken him to Zambia, after conclusion of his visit here.

Mr. Ansari is likely to discuss possibilities of the cooperation between India and Botswana in the field of uncut diamond procurement as Botswana possesses large deposits of the precious stone.

“Diamonds are of direct interest to us. We have a very prosperous diamond-cutting industry in Gujarat. India wants to develop cooperation in this area with Botswana,” Mr. Ansari had said earlier.

The Vice President, who is accompanied by Minister of Labour and Employment Harish Rawat among others, is scheduled to hold talks with Botswana President Lt. Gen. Sereste Khama Ian Khama and his counterpart Mompati S. Merafhe.

During his visit here, India and Malawi signed three agreements in fields of agriculture and allied sectors, small and medium enterprises and Protocol on Foreign Office Consultations.

The agreements aim to give a fillip to setting up new industries in Malawi, promoting marketing of agri products, animal husbandry and micro processing.

Ms. Banda said there are four specific areas in which Malawi is seeking India’s cooperation for energy listing coal, water and wind energy as the other components besides uranium.

Secretary (West), Ministry of External Affairs Vivek Katju, who later briefed reporters on the agreements and discussions between the two countries, however evaded a direct reply on the issue.

“They have energy resources and they view this (uranium) is also a part of their resources,” he said when asked about the offer of Malawi about uranium exploration.

Indian Uranium Need to Grow 10-Fold by 2020, Nuclear Power Says

Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- India’s need for uranium will increase 10-fold by 2020 as Asia’s third-largest energy consumer boosts nuclear power generation, the country’s monopoly atomic generator forecast today.

India is seeking cheaper sources of uranium than what it may get through commercial arrangements with companies like Russia’s Rosatom Corp. and France’s Areva SA, which plan to build reactors in the country, said Jagdeep Ghai, finance director at state-owned Nuclear Power Corp. of India.

India will need about 8,000 tons of uranium annually, he said. The nation has signed civil nuclear agreements with six countries, including Canada, Kazakhstan and Namibia, to secure stakes in overseas uranium mines, Ghai said.

“Most of these countries can give us access to uranium,” he said. “Nuclear Power’s strategy is to buy stakes in mines and tie up the source of supply.”

Company officials were in South Africa and Namibia last week assessing offers for stakes, Ghai said.

Atomic energy companies are flocking to India after a three-decade global ban on nuclear trade was lifted last year. The country aims to increase its nuclear power generation capacity 10-fold to 40,000 megawatts by 2035, Nuclear Power Chairman Shreyans Kumar Jain said Dec. 10.

Good news, India should also target African nations for mineral and other resources be it oil, diamond, gold, uranium or just for plain farming purposes
