Cigar Lake – co-owned by Cameco, Orano and TEPCO – is one of the world’s most lucrative but technically challenging deposits. Those challenges haven’t stopped us from producing 150 million pounds of uranium concentrate. “Congratulations to the team, those that work underground and at surface, and everyone who supports Cigar, for the exceptional teamwork. And thank you for always keeping safety as the number one priority,” says chief operating officer Brian Reilly.

In June, Cigar Lake reached a major milestone in its contribution toward energizing a clean-air world – by producing its 150 millionth pound of uranium concentrate. “150 million pounds is no small feat,” general manager, Kirk Lamont says. “It feels like routine work to the people on site and at Cameco as we are lucky enough to have these amazing tier 1 assets, but what we do here in northern Saskatchewan is not done anywhere else in the world.”
