</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Cameco Corporation </B>announced today it has completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in Zircatec
Precision Industries, Inc. for $108&nbsp;million. Zircatec&#146;s primary business is manufacturing nuclear
fuel bundles for sale to companies that generate electricity from Candu reactors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cameco used cash to fund this acquisition that is expected to be moderately accretive to cash flow
and earnings in 2006, assuming there is no significant change to existing revenue and costs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;With this acquisition, Cameco increases its participation in the nuclear fuel cycle and now covers
all phases of the Canadian industry from uranium mining through to electricity generation,&#148; said
Jerry Grandey, Cameco&#146;s president and CEO. &#147;Ownership of Zircatec provides Cameco with additional
growth opportunities and a new base of assets, managed by knowledgeable employees, to pursue our
vision to be a dominant nuclear energy company.&#148;
</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: the impact
of the sales volume of fuel fabrication services, uranium, conversion services, electricity
generated and gold; volatility and sensitivity to market prices for uranium, conversion services,
electricity in Ontario and gold; competition; the impact of change in foreign currency exchange
rates and interest rates; imprecision in decommissioning, reclamation, reserve and tax estimates;
environmental and safety risks including increased regulatory burdens and long-term waste disposal;
unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; adverse mining 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 tax and
