Reasons for Decision Ministerial Approval Ministerial Change Approval Pursuant to Section 16(2)(C) the Environmental Assessment Act
REASONS FOR DECISION MINISTERIAL APPROVAL MINISTERIAL CHANGE APPROVAL PURSUANT TO SECTION 16(2)(C) THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT CAMECO CORPORATION KEY LAKE EXTENSION PROJECT Introduction The Environmental Assessment Act (hereinafter called the Act) states that where a proponent has received Ministerial Approval to proceed with a development and the proponent intends to make a change in the development that does not conform to the terms or conditions contained in the approval, the proponent must receive Ministerial Approval prior to making those changes. On February 13, 1981 Ministerial Approval was issued to Key Lake Mining Corporation for the Key Lake Mine and Mill Project (EAB#: 1976-006). Several changes to the Key Lake operation have also received Ministerial Approval pursuant to Section 16(2) of the Act (EAB# 1990-048, 1991-031, 1992-001, 1998-015, 2000-025, 2002-055, 2003-005). These changes have related to tailings deposition location and methodology, development of the mined-out Deilmann pit as the Deilmann Tailings Management Facility (DTMF), processing of ore from the McArthur River mine, processing of by-products generated at facilities in Ontario and increasing milling and processing rates at the facility. In March 2010, Cameco submitted a proposal for a change to the previously approved Key Lake operation to allow increased tailing storage in the existing DTMF, an increase of the Key Lake mill nominal annual production capacity, an increase to the ore storage area and modifications to the existing mill (the project). The proposal was sent to provincial agencies and the Government of Canada for technical review. Following technical review, it was determined that the proposed change did not conform to the terms and conditions of previous approvals and therefore Cameco would require approval under section 16(2) of the Act prior to proceeding and would be required to conduct an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the proposed change. -

Gold and base metals are near or above their ten year average price, but uranium remains well below it’s average ten year price range. • Challenging market post-Fukushima 10 Year U3O8 10 Year Copper Spot Price Spot Price World Production & Consumption World Uranium Resources (WNA/IAEA) Australia has the largest amount of U resources, based on USD $130 per kg of U.

History of Mining in Saskatchewan
History of Mining In Saskatchewan Early Mining in Saskatchewan The earliest mining occurred when earth’s inhabitants started using various stones for tools or certain clays for cooking vessels. The earliest recorded occupation in Saskatchewan was around 9000 B.C. at the Niska site in the southern part of the province. Ample evidence of the use of stone tools, arrow heads, and spear heads, etc. has been found in the area. Much of the material used by these early inhabitants was imported or traded from other regions of North America. The study of the stone tools provides us with information about the people’s work, their history, their religion, their travels and their relationships with other groups or nations. Stone is readily available throughout most of Saskatchewan. This was especially important for Saskatchewan’s First Nations people who moved their camps frequently in search for food. The stones available were not all suitable for tools and they needed a constant supply of stone material that broke cleanly or was hard enough for pounding. Consequently, they made regular trips to the source areas or traded with people who lived near the sources. For these early residents of our province, the exchange of goods was more than just a means of acquiring things. Bartering and gift exchange was a means of creating and reinforcing relationships between individuals, families and nations. For thousands of years, goods have been exchanged through networks that extended across North America. Although perishable goods were also traded, our records are in the form of shell or stone artefacts. -

TITLE: Cameco Corporation: Uranium Mining and Aboriginal Development in Saskatchewan[1]
This case was written by Saleem H. Ali for the purpose of entering the 2000 Aboriginal Management Case Writing Competition. TITLE: Cameco Corporation: Uranium Mining and Aboriginal Development in Saskatchewan[1] The Setting The topic of Bernard Michel's speech was general in nature, yet quite specific in substance: "Corporate Citizenship and the Saskatchewan Uranium Industry." He had been invited by the Uranium Institute in London, UK to share his company's experiences in negotiating agreements with Native communities in Northern Saskatchewan. As the President and Chief Executive Officer of Cameco, the world's largest uranium mining company, his speech was much anticipated by the audience. The Uranium mines of Saskatchewan are an interesting laboratory for the study of corporate community relations......The community relations programme's first action was to listen through public hearings to the communities' expressed concerns.......Today 80% of Saskatchewan's residents, compared with 65% in 1990, support continued uranium mining. This reflects the industry's community relations initiative. Cameco's shares also trade at 3.5 times their 1991 issue price. Only a small segment of anti-nuclear activists takes a negative view. Relationships with local communities, like uranium ore, are a valuable resource needing competent development.[2] Originally from France, and a graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, Michel, had spent the past two decades in Canada working for various mining interests. Having served as Senior Vice President, Executive Vice President and President for a subsidiary of the French nuclear conglomerate Cogema, Amok Ltd, Michel had eminent credentials to join Cameco in 1988.
