Crow Butte

- In the second quarter of 2016, Cameco made the decision to curtail production and defer all wellfield development at our US operations.
- Crow Butte was the first uranium mine in Nebraska - discovered in 1980 and began production in 1991.
- Crow Butte has used the in situ recovery mining method to extract about 11.8 million pounds of uranium.
Operation(As of December 31, 2021)


US ISR Operations
As a result of our 2016 curtailment decision, commercial production has ceased. As production is suspended, we expect ongoing cash and non-cash care and maintenance costs to range between $15 million (US) and $17 million (US) for 2022.
Environment & Safety
Worker safety, environmental monitoring and proper decommissioning after project completion are of the utmost importance to Cameco.
Reserves & Resources
Our mineral reserves and resources are the foundation of our company and fundamental to our success.
