<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On April&nbsp;6, 2006, Cameco announced that construction had been delayed at the second shaft of the
Cigar Lake project in northern Saskatchewan due to a water inflow that began on April&nbsp;5, 2006 at
the bottom of the shaft. Due to the delayed construction of the second shaft, Cameco&#146;s preliminary
assessment indicates that Cigar Lake production may be delayed by six months and begin in late
2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Prior to the April&nbsp;6, 2006 announcement, Cameco was in the process of reviewing the capital costs
of the Cigar Lake project. The company will provide updated cost projections in the first quarter
report which will be released on April&nbsp;28, 2006. The results of the capital cost review and the
costs for dealing with the delays due to this incident are expected to increase the current
estimate of $520&nbsp;million by 10% to 20%.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On April&nbsp;6, 2006, Cameco announced that construction has been delayed at the second shaft of Cigar
Lake project in northern Saskatchewan due to a water inflow. The second shaft will be primarily
used for underground ventilation during production. Due to the delayed construction of the second
shaft, Cameco&#146;s preliminary assessment indicates that Cigar Lake production may be delayed by six
months and begin in late 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The water inflow began in the second shaft of the Cigar Lake project in northern Saskatchewan in
late afternoon of April&nbsp;5, 2006 at the bottom of the 6-metre wide shaft, 392 metres below the
surface. All the workers safely left the area and removed equipment. There was no impact on the
environment. There is no access between this shaft and the underground development and this event
will not impact existing underground development in any way. An investigation is underway to
determine the cause of the incident.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">After evaluating the situation, Cameco decided to allow water to fill to natural levels in the
second shaft that is currently being developed at Cigar Lake. The company determined this was the
most prudent choice since it allowed more remediation options.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The incident began when a worker noticed a leak in a valve that was preventing water from coming up
a drill hole. These drill holes are routinely used to test for the presence of ground water and to
grout off any water inflows. In the process of tightening, the valve broke, allowing water to enter
the bottom of the shaft.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cameco is reviewing potential methods to deal with the current situation. The company had already
been considering the possibility of freezing the area around the bottom of the shaft to deal with
the difficult ground conditions. Cameco will be able to provide a timetable for the remediation
process after the plans have been finalized. The water will not damage the concrete-lined shaft.
