Cameco Provides Update On Port Hope Strike

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, September 3, 2004 . . . . . . . . . .

While there have been no material developments, Cameco is providing an update to investors as the labour disruption continues at its Port Hope conversion facility.

About 200 hourly Port Hope workers represented by the United Steelworkers of America voted against a new three-year contract and began strike action at midnight Wednesday, July 28, 2004. Subsequently, a protocol was established to allow non-union employees and product shipments to cross the picket line in a timely manner. Cameco has obtained a court injunction to enforce the protocol. No common ground has yet been identified to resolve the strike.

The conversion facility is currently about 1,000 tonnes behind its 2004 production target of 12,500 tonnes uranium.

The company continues to meet all of its sales obligations. A shipment of UF 6 has been delayed, but will have no financial impact on the company. Cameco agreed to fill UF 6 into Russian-owned cylinders and ship them to an enrichment facility, which would return them to Russia. This request arose after another UF 6 conversion facility was unable to fill these cylinders.

The company will continue to monitor the potential impact from a prolonged work disruption and update the market if there are material developments.

Cameco, with its head office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the world’s largest uranium producer. The company’s uranium products are used to generate electricity in nuclear energy plants around the world, providing one of the cleanest sources of energy available today. Cameco’s shares trade on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges.
