Turkey top envoy goes to Niger in bid to secure uranium supplies
The trip comes after Niger’s military government withdrew mining rights from Canadian and French companies to develop uranium deposits.
Four workers died when a building they were demolishing near a coal mine of Russian steel producer Severstal collapsed on Saturday, the company said in a statement.
The people worked for a contractor hired for the job, Severstal said, adding that a violation of safety rules probably caused the accident.
Coal production at the Vorgashorskaya mine in northwestern Russia was unaffected, the company said.
