==Uranium mining==
In 2004, a Canadian corporation was granted a government license to mine for uranium in the area. Northwestern Mineral Ventures was awarded the Irhazer and Ingall concessions, each {{convert|2000|km2}} in size. Mines will reportedly be "open pit" strip mines.<ref>[http://www.stockinterview.com/nwt.html http://www.stockinterview.com/nwt.html]{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> More than 100 uranium exploration licenses have been granted in the [[Azawagh]] area since 2004 to foreign firms from China (over 40%), Canada, and India<ref>See the map on page 9 of this document: ftp://perso.numericable.fr/DOSSIER_TCHINAGHEN_AOUT2008.pdf{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Since 2007, Chinese mining consortium, whose license covers an area north of In Gall, has carried out infrastructural work for new uranium mine at [[Azelik]], some 85 km north of in Gall, which includes extending roads from in Gall to the site. Nigerien human rights, environmental and Tuareg groups have argued that mining activities in this region are a threat to scarce water resources, upon which pastoralists depend. The short rainy season in the [[Azawagh]] area north and west of in Gall makes the region the northern destination for a cattle and camel herding [[transhumance]] cycle which sees communities travel as far south as [[Burkina Faso]] during the dry months.<ref>http://www.sahara-sahel.com/articles/avenit/ave.html{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
