</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, September&nbsp;16, 2005 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Cameco Corporation </B>announced today it has completed the offering of $300&nbsp;million of unsecured
debentures that were sold pursuant to a prospectus dated September&nbsp;12, 2005. The offering was
underwritten by RBC Capital Markets and Scotia Capital Inc.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cameco plans to use the net proceeds of approximately $297&nbsp;million principally for retiring
outstanding commercial paper, planned capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The
company&#146;s planned capital expenditures include developmental and sustaining capital at its uranium
and conversion facilities. The company&#146;s commercial paper program is used for capital expenditures
and general corporate purposes which may include the funding of acquisitions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The debentures have been rated A (low)&nbsp;by Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited and BBB&#043; by Standard
&#038; Poor&#146;s Rating Service. Each debenture has a minimum denomination of $1,000 and will bear interest
at an interest rate of 4.70% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on March&nbsp;16 and September
16 in each year commencing March&nbsp;16, 2006 and will mature on September&nbsp;16, 2015.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The debentures have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States to any person absent registration or
an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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;
