If you go back historically, the French first discovered Uranium deposits back in the 1950's and Areva has been exploiting them since.
As far a s french interests go though, Niger is the country they are exploiting for Uranium. Mali doesn't seem to figure too much in their interests, at least at the moment.
It's more the deposits that were found in more exploitable areas along the Algerian border earlier this year I was thinking of rather than the existing, rather poor ones found in 2013 around Goa.
If you are convinced the idea of an Islamist insurgency though, I suggest you have a read around the historic Tuareg disputes with Algeria, Mali and Niger that deal mainly in the pre 2012 rebellions. The Dark Sahara: America's War on Terror in Africa by Jeremy Keenan would be a good introduction to the current background as is THE TUAREGS' REBELLIONS IN MALI AND NIGER AND THE U.S. GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR.
