<P align="center"><FONT size="3"><B>Cameco To Develop Uranium Mine In Kazakhstan</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, April&nbsp;1, 2004 . . . . . .
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Cameco Corporation</B> and the National Atomic Company of Kazakhstan (KazAtomProm)
announced today that they plan to develop the Inkai uranium deposit in
Kazakhstan through their Inkai Joint Venture (JV Inkai). Cameco owns 60% of
Inkai and KazAtomProm owns 40%. JV Inkai has approved the technical and
financial conclusions of the feasibility study that estimated a total capital
cost of $38&nbsp;million (US)&nbsp;to build an in situ leach mine. Subject to regulatory
approval, the mine is expected to achieve commercial production in 2007 and
ramp up to 2.6&nbsp;million pounds annually by 2009. JV Inkai will assess if this
production level can be increased.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Cameco has a loan agreement to provide up to $40&nbsp;million (US)&nbsp;to JV Inkai for
project development and had provided $19.5&nbsp;million by December&nbsp;31, 2003. The
loan is expected to be repaid through Inkai production. Additional financing
arrangements will be made, as required, to complete the project.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&#147;Inkai provides greater diversity of supply geographically and is another
building block toward our vision to become a dominant nuclear energy company
producing uranium fuel and generating clean electricity,&#148; said Jerry Grandey,
Cameco&#146;s president and CEO.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Cameco estimates there are 91.5&nbsp;million pounds of proven and probable reserves
that would provide an estimated mine life of well over 30&nbsp;years. Additional
work is required to confirm other resources that have been identified in the
surrounding area.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&#147;Our investment in Inkai will enable us to provide our customers with
another source of uranium at a time when there is increasing demand for
reliable, long-term supplies,&#148; Grandey added. &#147;This operation will be cost
competitive with the best uranium mines in the world.&#148;
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&#147;We are pleased to work with Cameco to develop this quality deposit in
Kazakhstan,&#148; said Moukhtar Dzhakishev, president of KazAtomProm. &#147;We have been
collaborating for more than six years and the advancement of this project will
strengthen our long-term relationship.&#148;
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Inkai has a number of advantages including low production costs, competitive
tax rates, large orebodies and favourable geological conditions with excellent
orebody permeability requiring fewer injection and production wells.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">JV Inkai will submit an environmental assessment and design plan for
construction of the commercial facility to Kazakh regulatory authorities for
approval before the end of the year. Cameco expects construction to begin early
in 2005, with completion scheduled for 2007. Inkai will employ up to 200
workers during construction and will require approximately 230 employees once
full production is reached. Approximately 97% of the employees will be hired
locally.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Inkai deposit is located in south central Kazakhstan, about 370 kilometres
northwest of the regional capital of Shymkent and some 1,000 kilometres
northwest of Almaty. Small-scale test mining was conducted in the vicinity of
Inkai in the late 1980s. JV Inkai began testing mining in 2002 in order to
gather information for the feasibility study. In 2003 the test mine produced
0.2&nbsp;million pounds U<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>8</SUB> and is expected to continue to produce about 0.3 to 0.6
million pounds annually through 2007.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Cameco estimated the reserves for the Inkai deposit mine (as of December&nbsp;31,
2003) on a 100% basis as follows:

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The qualified person for the Inkai reserve and resource estimates in this news
release is Raymond Jean-Francois Chauvet, geological engineer and professional
geoscientist, who was director, mining resources and methods at Cameco.
Production from the Inkai test mine continues to support the lab and field
testing that was initially completed by Volk Geology located in Almaty,
Kazakhstan.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">ISL mining involves the use of an oxidant added to natural groundwater to
liberate uranium directly from the undisturbed underground orebody. Water
carrying the oxidant is injected through a series of perimeter wells and flows
through the permeable orebody to production wells. The uranium-bearing solution
is then pumped to the surface process plant for recovery.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Cameco owns and operates two ISL mining operations in the United States, one
each in Wyoming and Nebraska. These two mines currently account for all primary
uranium production in the United States. KazAtomProm controls and operates
three ISL mines in Kazakhstan.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Cameco, with its head office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the world&#146;s largest
uranium producer. 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.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Statements contained in this news release which are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such
differences, without limiting the generality of the following, include:
volatility and sensitivity to market prices for uranium, electricity in Ontario
and gold; the impact of the sales volume of uranium, conversion services,
electricity generated and gold; competition; the impact of change in foreign
currency exchange rates and interest rates; imprecision in reserve estimates;
environmental and safety risks including increased regulatory burdens;
unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; political risks arising from
operating in certain developing countries; a possible deterioration in
political support for nuclear energy; changes in government regulations and
policies, including trade laws and policies; demand for nuclear power;
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; operating performance
of the facilities; success of planned development projects; and other
development and operating risks.
