&#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of Canadian and U.S. securities laws. These include the percentage interest in the Millennium project that Cameco will acquire, the statement that the agreement will further strengthen
Cameco&#146;s base of uranium assets in the Athabasca Basin and the expected closing date. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. These include the assumptions that the transaction will close as expected and the possible exercise of JCU&#146;s right to acquire an additional interest in the project.
Cameco cautions the reader that such forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Those risks and uncertainties include the risk that the transaction contemplated by the agreement may not be successfully completed. Certain of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and others, are discussed in
greater detail in Cameco&#146;s most recent Annual Information Form and MD&amp;A on file with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, which we recommend that you review for more information. Cameco does not undertake any obligation to update
or revise forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT
