<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cameco Corporation announced today that Centerra Gold Inc. has resumed normal operations at its

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On June&nbsp;14, Centerra suspended operations as a precaution in response to an illegal political
demonstration at the site. Most demonstrators have left the site voluntarily although some were
removed by Mongolian police.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Centerra is monitoring the situation and taking appropriate measures in the event of any further
attempt by protestors to interfere with operations.
</DIV>

</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.
