Kyrgyz Government Requests Extension of Agreement Closing Date

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, February 13, 2008 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cameco Corporation today reported that the Kyrgyz government has requested an extension to April 30, 2008 of the closing date of previously announced agreements with Cameco and Centerra Gold Inc. (For details of these agreements please see Cameco’s August 30, 2007 news release.)

Centerra received a letter on February 13, 2008 from the Kyrgyz prime minister requesting an extension of the February 15, 2008 deadline for completion of the transactions contemplated by the preliminary framework agreements on the Kumtor project.

Cameco is prepared to continue its constructive relationship with the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic including assisting it to obtain the necessary parliamentary approval for the Kumtor transactions.

Kyrgyz parliamentary approval is one of a number of conditions to closing the agreements.

(For a recent update of the political situation in the Kyrgyz Republic please see Cameco’s February 6, 2008 quarterly news release.) There can be no assurance that parliamentary approval will be received or other conditions will be satisfied.

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.
