</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, December&nbsp;9, 2002
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2"><B>Cameco Corporation </B>is pleased to announce the appointment of Terry Rogers to
the position of senior vice-president and chief operating officer, effective
February&nbsp;1, 2003.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">As senior vice-president and chief operating officer, Terry Rogers will report
to Gerald Grandey, in his new capacity as Cameco&#146;s chief executive officer.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">He will assume responsibility for all Canadian and international uranium mining
and processing operations as well as provide oversight responsibility for
operational and technical aspects of the company&#146;s gold investments. He will
also oversee and direct Cameco&#146;s future production expansion plans.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">Rogers brings more than twenty-five years experience in mine engineering,
project and operations management, much of it acquired internationally. Most
recently, he was president of Kumtor Operating Company, Cameco&#146;s gold
subsidiary in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&#147;At the heart of Cameco&#146;s success is our portfolio of outstanding uranium and
gold production operations, along with a stable of projects currently under
development or with strong development potential,&#148; said Grandey. &#147;As Cameco
expands its presence internationally, Terry&#146;s proven international mining and
project management experience will be invaluable to our senior management
team.&#148;
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">Cameco, with its head office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the world&#146;s largest
uranium supplier. The company&#146;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&#146;s shares trade on the
Toronto and New York stock exchanges.

replacement of production and failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals
from government authorities; legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding
deregulation, regulation or restructuring of the electric utility industry in
Ontario; Ontario electricity rate regulations; weather and other natural
phenomena; ability to maintain and further improve positive labour relations;
