Disclosure Of Joint Operations [Abstract] |
Joint operations | 31. Joint operations Cameco conducts a portion of its exploration, development, mining and milling activities through joint operations. Operations are governed by agreements that provide for joint control of the strategic operating, investing and financing activities among the partners. These agreements were considered in the determination of joint control. Cameco’s significant Canadian uranium joint operation interests are McArthur River, Key Lake and Cigar Lake.

Mining and milling expenses incurred by joint operations are included in the cost of inventory.
