Global Atomic President and CEO, Stephen G. Roman commented, "We were honoured to host the Mines Minister and other dignitaries at our Dasa operation. The Minister expressed his continuing support for the Project and confirmed the Government's recognition of Dasa's strategic value and near-term economic benefit that will be realized in the form of local employment, taxes and royalties."

"Our relationship with Niger Government officials since field operations began in 2008 has always been positive. The Government continues to offer support in many ways including security in the region and assistance with expediting logistics to equip our mining team with supplies and consumables to maintain a high pace of mine development. The underground development has continued to progress on schedule. We value the Government's support as we enter this next significant stage to construct our processing plant."

During his tour of the Dasa Project Niger's Mines Minister, Commissaire Colonel Ousmane Abarchi, stated, "We came here, we visited the mine, and we launched the earth breaking operations for the mill construction. Dasa is a reality everyone can see. We thank you all. We are supportive of the SOMIDA team and Global Atomic. This project is very important for us; as a government and as a shareholder. We want Dasa to be the start of new Niger mining practice with expectations on State Income, Employment and Environment management."
