Haranga Resources Limited (ASX:HAR; FRA:65E0) has secured the second renewal of the exploration permit for its Saraya Uranium Project in Senegal for an additional three years. Held through the company’s 70%-owned subsidiary Mandinga Resources SARL, the permit is now valid until 2027, allowing continued exploration and resource development. The renewal was granted under decree MEPM 023680 by the Senegalese authorities on 1 July 2025.
The Saraya Uranium Project hosts a JORC-compliant Indicated and Inferred mineral resource of 14.5 million tonnes at 550ppm uranium for 17.6 million pounds of contained eU₃O₈. Covering 1,235.72 km², the permit area has revealed multiple uranium anomalies across the project.
In addition to the flagship Saraya prospect, the permit area includes the Sanela and Mandankoly prospects and several newly discovered uranium surface anomalies identified through termite mound sampling.
Permit Area Reduced but Key Zones Retained
As part of the permit renewal conditions, the permit area was reduced by 25%. The proposed reduction excluded all zones with known uranium anomalies, ensuring no impact on the ongoing or planned exploration activities. The revised permit retains all areas for potential discovery and resource extension. Haranga also submitted detailed technical and financial reports covering the previous three-year period as required by the relevant authorities.
Government Audit Confirms Mandinga’s ‘Good Standing’
Senegal recently concluded a nationwide audit of its extractive industries, including mining, oil and gas, aimed at improving transparency, strengthening environmental compliance, and tackling corruption. Launched in April 2024, the audit involved a comprehensive review by the Ministry of Mines of the resource sector. As part of this process, the Saraya uranium permit held by Mandinga, underwent a full compliance assessment and was confirmed to be in ‘exemplary standing’.
The positive outcome reaffirmed the ‘good standing’ of Mandinga and highlighted Haranga’s ongoing commitment to transparency, responsible exploration practices, and exploration excellence in Senegal.
Next Steps
With the renewed permit in place, the company is preparing to launch exploration across the updated Saraya permit area. The upcoming program will include auger and reverse circulation (RC) drilling across known targets, building on historical results.
