            <description><![CDATA[The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that global uranium production is increasing, to meet the rising demand from the nuclear energy sector. However, for the longer term, it is necessary for new projects to be developed and come on stream. These findings are in 'Uranium 2026: Resources, Production and Demand', a joint report of the IAEA and the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. Worldwide, on January 1, 2025 there had been 418 commercial nuclear reactors in operation, with a total generating capacity of 378 GW(e). Fuelling these required some 64 500 tons of uranium (tU) a year (tU/y). There were another 23 reactors, with a total capacity of 19.7 GW(e), in a state of suspended operation.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[LONDON – Global oil supply and demand will fall further than previously thought this year, the International Energy Agency said on Friday, as a lack of progress in ending the Iran war delays the return of normal Middle East flows into 2027 and sends fuel prices soaring. An increase in attacks on oil tankers in Middle East shipping routes has helped send crude prices towards $110 a barrel this week for the first time since May. But this hike is overshadowed by the surging price of fuels such as diesel, which have hit record highs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[DAKAR – Ghana's mining regulator is developing minimum wage and tender benchmarks for contract mining firms, seeking to curb aggressive underbidding as the country pushes miners to outsource more operations to local contractors, a senior official said on Thursday. Ghana, Africa's top gold producer, in January 2025 ordered miners to shift surface operations — blasting, loading, hauling and dumping — to Ghanaian-owned contractors and underground operations to joint ventures with at least 50% local ownership by December 31 or face sanctions. It is consistent with a broader push by Africa's resource-rich nations to try to retain more value from their mineral wealth.]]></description>
