</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt">Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, October&nbsp;4, 2005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<BR>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>Cameco Corporation </B>advised today that it is in negotiations to acquire Zircatec Precision
Industries, Inc.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Zircatec&#146;s primary business is manufacturing nuclear fuel bundles for sale to companies that
generate electricity with Candu reactors. Zircatec has one plant in Cobourg, Ontario that produces
metal components for fuel bundles and other reactor components. A second plant in Port Hope,
Ontario handles nuclear materials and completes the fuel bundle fabrication process.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cameco&#146;s review of Zircatec will determine if it meets the company&#146;s investment criteria. Cameco
will provide an update on the status of this project once negotiations have proceeded to a point
where the company has made an investment decision which is expected by year end.
</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>

<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; 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.
