Northern Saskatchewan Operations Update

Northern Saskatchewan Operations Update

Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) is continuing its operations at its northern Saskatchewan sites amidst wildfires that are impacting parts of the province.

Currently, there are no fires in the vicinity of Cameco's operations at Cigar Lake, Key Lake, McArthur River and Rabbit Lake. There is no risk to our sites, and they remain safe for staff. Orano's McClean Lake mill remains operational.

We are managing some temporary disruptions due to wildfires impacting power and communication services to our operations. Road closures have also impeded some deliveries to sites.

Most importantly, Cameco has many employees who are from northern communities threatened by wildfires or under evacuation orders. We are accommodating their requests to leave site to tend to family and provide aid to their home communities.

As our sites continue to operate, the safety of our staff is our top priority. We are taking measures to minimize the impact of the disruptions, including making operational adjustments as we manage the availability of employees. At this time, our annual production target remains unchanged.

Caution about forward-looking information

This news release includes statements and information about our expectations for the future, which we refer to as forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is based on our current views, which can change significantly, and actual results and events may be significantly different from what we currently expect. Examples of forward-looking information in this news release include: the proximity of wildfires to Cameco's operations; risks of wildfires to our sites and the safety of our staff; temporary disruptions to power, communications systems and roads due to wildfires; accommodation of employee requests to leave site to tend to family and provide aid to their home communities; operational adjustments; and annual production targets. Material risks that could lead to different results include: spread of wildfires to the vicinity of our operations; increased disruptions to power, communication services and road access due to wildfires; increased employee requests to leave site due to wildfires; the risk that we may not be able to achieve planned production levels within the expected timeframes, or that the costs involved in doing so exceed our expectations; risks related to JV Inkai's development or production, including the risk that JV Inkai is unable to transport and deliver its production; and the risks to our business associated with potential production disruptions, including those related to wildfires, global supply chain disruptions, global economic uncertainty, political volatility, labour relations issues, and operating risks. In presenting the forward-looking information, we have made material assumptions which may prove incorrect about: the spread of wildfires; our production, purchases, sales, deliveries and costs; the market conditions and other factors upon which we have based our future plans and forecasts; Inkai production and, our allocation of planned production and timing of deliveries; the success of our plans and strategies, including planned production; the absence of new and adverse government regulations, policies or decisions; that there will not be any significant adverse consequences to our business resulting from production disruptions, including those relating to wildfires, supply disruptions, economic or political uncertainty and volatility, labour relation issues, aging infrastructure, and operating risks. Please also review the discussion in our 2024 annual MD&A and most recent annual information form for other material risks that could cause actual results to differ significantly from our current expectations, and other material assumptions we have made.

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.
