     Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
As part of Cameco’s corporate governance practices, under Cameco’s audit committee charter, the audit committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the external auditors. Unless a type of service which is to be provided by the external auditors receives general pre-approval, it requires specific pre-approval by Cameco’s audit committee or audit committee chair, or in the absence of the audit committee chair, a member of the audit committee as designated by the audit committee. All pre-approvals granted pursuant to the delegated authority must be presented by the member(s) who granted the pre-approvals to the full audit committee at its next meeting. The audit committee has adopted a written policy to provide procedures to implement the foregoing principles.
