Cameco Marks Uranium Supply Agreement with
China Nuclear International Corporation
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, October 29, 2023 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) has signed a uranium supply agreement with China Nuclear
International Corporation, a subsidiary of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), one of the
country’s largest nuclear power operators.
The contract, finalized earlier this year, was marked as part of the 2023 International Forum on
Natural Uranium Industry taking place in Beijing.
“China is counting on nuclear energy to play a major role in its commitment to achieve net-zero
emissions, and CNNC is a large and growing part of that effort,” said Cameco president and CEO
Tim Gitzel. “Cameco is very pleased to continue increasing our contribution toward the attainment
of China’s important climate goals.”
Terms and details of the supply agreement are commercially confidential and will not be disclosed
publicly. The contract volumes are reflected in the 215 million pounds of uranium Cameco
reported having under long-term contracts as of April 27, 2023, and the reported average annual
delivery volumes of 28 million pounds per year from 2023 through 2027 as of June 30, 2023.
