But this is false. (There is no english link sorry for that). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/UraMin
Context! They never had to prospect in France - I thought hat was clear, but apparently it wasn't. Sorry for the confusion.
Edit: after reading the article I'm more confused - that's not even a French company - it's Canadian...
This Canadian company got bought by Areva.
