</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt">Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, August&nbsp;11, 2008 . . . . . . . . . . . .
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Cameco Corporation </B>announced today that it has completed the acquisition of a 70% interest in the
Kintyre uranium exploration project in Western Australia for $346.5&nbsp;million (US).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A joint venture comprised of Cameco (70%) and Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd (30%) purchased the
Kintyre project from Rio Tinto for $495.0&nbsp;million (US)&nbsp;through a bidding process. Cameco will
operate the project and is funding its share of the purchase price through existing credit
facilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Kintyre is an advanced exploration project located in Western Australia about 1,250 kilometres
northeast of Perth. Uranium was first discovered in the area in 1985 and followed up with extensive
exploration that identified eight deposits. The project was placed in care and maintenance in 1988
when uranium prices declined below $12 per pound (US). The sale process was initiated by Rio Tinto
in 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cameco has been actively exploring in Australia since 1997 and has exploration licences for more
than 795,000 hectares of land in Western Australia (some proximate to the Kintyre deposits), South
Australia and the Northern Territory. In February&nbsp;2008, Cameco secured rights to the Angela-Pamela
deposits in the Northern Territory through a joint venture with Paladin Energy Ltd. Cameco has
offices in Darwin and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd</B><BR>
Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation and is based
in Sydney, Australia. The company owns investments in coal and iron ore in Australia, including a
50% share of BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance, the world&#146;s largest metallurgical coal producer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Cameco Corporation</B><BR>
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.
