Cameco Releases 2024 Sustainability Report

Cameco Releases 2024 Sustainability Report

Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) released its 2024 Sustainability Report today, which communicates the initiatives and key metrics that demonstrate Cameco's progress to date and the continual advancement of our sustainability reporting.

"As a responsible company focused on creating long-term, sustainable value for all our stakeholders, we are taking the appropriate actions and making decisions to look after our employees, support our communities, and reduce our environmental impact," Cameco President and CEO Tim Gitzel said.

Cameco is committed to transparency and accountability for quality reporting on sustainability matters to our providers of capital, customers, employees, regulators, local Indigenous Peoples, communities around our operations, and other stakeholders.

For more than 15 years, we have disclosed our sustainability performance through an extensive range of environment, safety, social, economic, and governance indicators.

Sustainability highlights from 2024 include:

  • Completing physical climate risk assessments at our U.S. operations in Nebraska and Wyoming;
  • Launching a pre-trades training program for Residents of Saskatchewan's North, where ten female students began courses on industrial and heavy-duty mechanics, carpentry, electrical, plumbing and welding;
  • Removing the Port Hope legacy UF 6 plant, where over 125,000 hours were spent over five years to address legacy waste inherited from historic operations — a major milestone of our Vision in Motion project;
  • Achieving our goal to publish our Scope 3 emissions value and quantification method, as well as engage with value chain partners that together make up 59% of our total Scope 3 emissions, to better understand emission-reducing initiatives in our value chain;
  • Acknowledging 51% of our workforce at our northern Saskatchewan operations self-identified as Indigenous; and,
  • Celebrating that 71% of all our spending on services at our northern Saskatchewan mine sites was with northern-owned businesses.

"Looking forward, I want us to continue to safely produce uranium fuel in a way that our people are proud of. We remain committed to pursuing sustainability and providing a respectful workplace that is reflective of the communities where we operate," Gitzel said.

In this report, Cameco has incorporated relevant Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) performance indicators and continued its progress toward integrating the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The report can be downloaded or read online at www.cameco.com/about/sustainability.

Cameco's board of directors and executive team oversee the company's sustainability strategy, execution, and reporting. In addition to SASB and TCFD, the report contains other key performance indicators that we believe have an important bearing on Cameco's long-term sustainability, some of which are unique to our company and some of which are based on the GRI Standards framework that we used as the basis of our sustainability reporting prior to 2020. For the third year, we have obtained a third-party limited assurance report on selected performance indicators.

Cameco

Cameco is one of the world's largest uranium producers. When operating at normal production, the flagship McArthur River mine in Saskatchewan accounts for roughly 50% of output in normal market conditions. Amid years of uranium price weakness, the company has reduced production, instead purchasing from the spot market to meet contracted deliveries. In the long term, Cameco has the ability increase annual uranium production by restarting shut mines and investing in new ones. In addition to its large uranium mining business, Cameco operates uranium conversion and fabrication facilities.

Cameco and Energoatom Agree on Commercial Terms to Supply Ukraine's Full Natural UF6 Needs through 2035

SE NNEGC Energoatom (Energoatom), Ukraine's state-owned nuclear energy utility, and Cameco Corporation (Cameco) (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ), one of the largest global producers of uranium fuel based in Canada, have reached agreement on commercial terms for a major supply contract for Cameco to provide sufficient volumes of natural uranium hexafluoride, or UF 6 (consisting of uranium and conversion services), to meet Ukraine's full nuclear fuel needs through 2035. Key commercial terms, such as pricing mechanism, volume and tenor, have been agreed to, but the contract is subject to finalization, which is anticipated in the first quarter of 2023.

"Energoatom will keep working on achieving the energy independence of Ukraine. The development of cooperation between companies in the production and supply of nuclear materials and nuclear fuel is one of the most important conditions for the further safe functioning of our domestic nuclear power generation," said Petro Kotin, President of Energoatom.

Baselode Intersects Best Drill Hole To Date, 25 Metres From Surface

  • AK22-051 intersected 2,320 cps over 30.1 m starting at 27.0 m drill hole depth, ranks as the best drill hole on the project, and includes six separate intervals of >10,000 cps*
  • AK22-047 intersected 5,229 cps over 7.35 m at 140.65 m , ranks as second-best drill hole on the project, and includes eight separate intervals of >10,000 cps

Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) (" Baselode " or the " Company ") is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing 20,000 metre diamond drilling program (the " Program ") on the ACKIO high-grade uranium discovery (" ACKIO "), Hook project (" Hook "), Athabasca Basin area (the " Basin "), northern Saskatchewan ( see Figure 1 and Table 1 ).

"We continue to hit mineralization at the overburden contact; within 25 m from surface. The mineralization from AK22-051 is the shallowest being drilled in the Basin. This rarity of near-surface mineralization with high levels of radioactivity sets Baselode apart from our peers as there's no other recent discovery this close to surface. Near-surface mineralization has been a key characteristic required for numerous Basin deposits going into production as open pit mines. Holes AK22-051 and AK22-047 are substantially the two best drill holes on ACKIO to date in terms of continuously elevated radioactivity. They also have the highest average levels of radioactivity, and each includes multiple discrete intersections with greater than 10,000 cps. We're excited to see ACKIO grow with near-surface mineralization, including consistently higher levels of radioactivity. AK22-051 remains open in all directions and AK22-047 remains open to the east," said James Sykes , CEO, President and Director of Baselode.
