</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, December&nbsp;7, 2006 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9pt"><B>Cameco Corporation </B>announced today that its board of directors have approved an increase in the
annual cash dividend from $0.16 per share to $0.20 beginning in 2007. This represents a 25%
increase in Cameco&#146;s cash dividend. The company has consistently paid dividends since its shares
began trading in 1991.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The company&#146;s board of directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per common share,
payable on January&nbsp;15, 2007 to shareholders of record on December&nbsp;29, 2006.
</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; terrorism; sabotage; a possible
deterioration in political support for nuclear energy; changes in government regulations and
policies, including tax and trade laws and policies; demand for nuclear power; replacement of
production; failure to obtain or maintain 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;
natural phenomena including inclement weather conditions, fire, flood, underground floods,
earthquakes, pit wall failure and cave-ins; ability to maintain and further improve positive labour
relations; strikes or lockouts; operating performance, disruption in the operation of, and life of
the company&#146;s and customers&#146; facilities; decrease in electrical production due to planned outages
extending beyond their scheduled periods or unplanned outages; success of planned development
projects; and other development and operating risks.

reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements, which only apply as of the
date of this report. Cameco disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
