Northern Saskatchewan Operations Update

All amounts in Canadian dollars unless specified otherwise.

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) today provided an operational update for our northern Saskatchewan sites amidst flooding in the region, which is impacting roadways.

Our northern Saskatchewan sites are not directly impacted by flood waters. However, flooding has caused the collapse of the Smoothstone River Bridge, which is on the primary route we use to transport supplies to the McArthur River and Key Lake sites, and there are restrictions in place on the use of an alternative roadway. We are in regular contact with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways, and we are working with our sites to minimize the impact of delivery disruptions. However, we have temporarily halted production activities at Key Lake mill and reduced activity at McArthur River mine until the normal delivery of critical operating materials can resume. The timeline for the resumption of normal deliveries is currently unknown.

At present, the Cigar Lake mine continues to operate, and our consolidated annual production plan remains unchanged. Depending on the duration of the road restrictions and our ability to make deliveries of critical operating materials, there is a risk that our 2026 production outlook for the McArthur River/Key Lake operation could be impacted.
