The tables in this section show the estimates of the proven and probable mineral reserves, and measured, indicated, and inferred mineral resources at those properties. However, only three of the properties listed in those tables are material uranium properties for us: McArthur River/Key Lake, Cigar Lake and Inkai. Mineral reserves and resources are all reported as of December 31, 2025.We estimate and disclose mineral reserves and resources in five categories, using the definition standards adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council, and in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101), developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators.  About mineral resourcesMineral resources do not have to demonstrate economic viability but have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. They fall into three categories: measured, indicated and inferred. Our reported mineral resources are exclusive of mineral reserves.measured and indicated mineral resources can be estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the appropriate application of technical, economic, marketing, legal, and sustainability factors to support evaluation of the economic viability of the depositmeasured resources: we can confirm both geological and grade continuity to support detailed mine planningindicated resources: we can reasonably assume geological and grade continuity to support mine planninginferred mineral resources are estimated using limited geological evidence and sampling information. We do not have enough confidence to evaluate their economic viability in a meaningful way. You should not assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource, but it is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration.Our share of uranium in the following mineral resource tables is based on our respective ownership interests. Reported mineral resources have not demonstrated economic viability.About mineral reservesMineral reserves are the economically mineable part of measured and/or indicated mineral resources demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. The reference point at which mineral reserves are defined is the point where the ore is delivered to the processing plant, except for ISR operations where the reference point is where the mineralization occurs under the existing or planned wellfield patterns. Mineral reserves fall into two categories:proven reserves: the economically mineable part of a measured resource for which at least a preliminary feasibility study demonstrates that, at the time of reporting, economic extraction could be reasonably justified with a high degree of confidenceprobable reserves: the economically mineable part of a measured and/or indicated resource for which at least a preliminary feasibility study demonstrates that, at the time of reporting, economic extraction could be reasonably justified with a degree of confidence lower than that applying to proven reserves For properties where we are the operator, we use current geological models, an average uranium price of $63 (US) per pound U3O8, and current or projected operating costs and mine plans to report our mineral reserves, allowing for dilution and mining losses. We apply our standard data verification process for every estimate. For properties in which we have an interest but are not the operator, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the reserve and resource estimates that we report are reliable.Our share of uranium in the mineral reserves table below is based on our respective ownership interests.Changes this year Our share of proven and probable mineral reserves decreased from 457 million pounds U3O8 at the end of 2024 to 433 million pounds at the end of 2025. The change was primarily the result of production at Cigar Lake, Inkai and McArthur River, which removed 25 million pounds of proven and probable reserves from our mineral inventory slightly offset by other adjustments based on the mineral reserve estimate updates at Cigar Lake, McArthur River and Inkai.Our share of measured and indicated mineral resources decreased from 408 million pounds U3O8 at the end of 2024 to 404 million pounds at the end of 2025. Our share of inferred mineral resources decreased from 153 million pounds U3O8 to 152 million pounds U3O8. Qualified personsThe technical and scientific information discussed on this page for our material properties (McArthur River/Key Lake, Cigar Lake and Inkai) was approved by the following individuals who are qualified persons for the purposes of NI 43-101:McArthur River/Key LakeGreg Murdock, general manager, McArthur River, CamecoDaley McIntyre, general manager, Key Lake, CamecoAlain D.

They are, however, imprecise by nature, may change over time, and include many variables and assumptions, including:geological interpretationextraction planscommodity prices and currency exchange ratesrecovery ratesoperating and capital costsThere is no assurance that the indicated levels of uranium will be produced, and we may have to re-estimate our mineral reserves based on actual production experience. Changes in the price of uranium, production costs or recovery rates could make it unprofitable for us to operate or develop a particular site or sites for a period of time. See page 2 of our 2025 Q4 MD&A for information about forward-looking information.Please see our mineral reserves and resources section of our most recent annual information form for the specific assumptions, parameters and methods used for McArthur River, Inkai and Cigar Lake mineral reserve and resource estimates. Important information for US investorsWe present information about mineralization, mineral reserves and resources as required by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators (NI 43-101), in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. As a foreign private issuer filing reports with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System, we are not required to comply with the SEC’s disclosure requirements relating to mining properties. Investors in the United States should be aware that the disclosure requirements of NI 43-101 are different from those under applicable SEC rules, and the information that we present concerning mineralization, mineral reserves and resources may not be comparable to information made public by companies that comply with the SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements for mining companies.

SafetyThe Inkai operation has an excellent safety record. The operation has a management system to identify, document and address risks and engage all workers and managers in development of a strong safety culture. The safety management system is certified to the international OHSAS:18001 standard and is focused on driving continual improvement in safety performance of employees and contractors.Radiation ProtectionRadiation risks are effectively managed at Inkai through a formal radiation protection program and dedicated personnel who ensure that doses to workers are as low as reasonably achievable. The program ensures that radiation protection is considered in the physical design of all facilities and operating procedures. It also provides for systematic monitoring of radiation in work areas and tracking the exposures of individual workers using a combination of monitoring devices and health testing. Radiation exposures at Inkai are far below the regulated limits.Environmental ProtectionEnvironmental protection at Inkai is managed through an ISO 14001-certified environmental management system. The system provides for systematic identification and mitigation of environmental risks and reduction and effective management of waste. Inkai uses the in situ recovery (ISR) mining method which produces no tailings or waste rock and involves minimal surface disturbance. Uranium is extracted from underground by pumping a mild acid solution into the ore zone. The uranium is freed from a sandstone formation and pumped to the surface for processing.Environmental MonitoringMonitor wells are installed around the ore zones to allow testing of groundwater quality around the ore zones.Waste ManagementThe situ recovery (ISR) mining method employed at Inkai produces no tailings or waste rock. Water used in the process is recycled. Plastic, cardboard, scrap metal and other waste materials are sent for recycling to external companies.DecommissioningDetailed plans are being developed to provide for decommissioning of the Inkai mine. Once operations are complete in a wellfield, the brackish groundwater in the deep sandstone aquifer being mined recovers by natural attenuation. All piping and other infrastructure is removed and surface lands are restored to their original state.Environmental AssessmentAll new mining developments and significant changes to existing operations are subject to environmental review and licensing by Kazakh regulatory authorities.Regulatory OversightThe Inkai operation is overseen by a number of Kazakh regulatory authorities, including the Atomic Energy Committee, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection.

Our relationships with our workforce, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities are fundamental to our success. We aim to build a workforce that is dedicated to continuous improvement and shares our values.The following are highlights of selected social topics discussed in our 2025 Sustainability Report. Please see the report for more information or Our Performance for all indicator results.

SafetyWe manage the safety of our workers through programs, systems, and standards, with our Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) Policy providing overarching guidance. There are many aspects of the management system that contribute to a safe work environment, a few examples include:Risk assessments help identify issues and determine the appropriate controls; the corrective action process verifies that incidents and near misses are reported, tracked, investigated and shared with colleagues; and emergency preparedness and planning prepare us to respond to serious incidents.We have developed 12 corporate safety standards to help protect our workers from our most common hazards. Some standards guide our general safety practices, such as our job hazard analysis and our job task observation, and other standards deal with specific hazardous situations (similar to other companies’ life saving rules): such as fall protection, confined space entry, rigging and hoisting, and control of hazardous energy (also referred to as lockout/tagout).Routine audits are conducted to monitor compliance with regulations and our own requirements. These and other aspects of the management system are routinely examined to verify that they continue to be effective at keeping our workers safe.Radiation ProtectionRadiation risks are effectively managed at the Port Hope conversion facility through a formal radiation protection program and dedicated personnel who ensure that doses to workers are as low as reasonably achievable. The program ensures that radiation protection is considered in the physical design of all facilities and operating procedures. It also provides for systematic monitoring of radiation in work areas and tracking the exposures of individual workers using a combination of monitoring devices and health testing. Radiation exposures at the facility are far below regulatory limits.Environmental ProtectionAt Cameco, protection of the environment is one of our highest corporate priorities during all stages of our activities, from exploration through development, operations, decommissioning, and reclamation.We monitor our performance by tracking corporate and site-specific key performance indicators, conducting environmental monitoring programs, and regularly auditing our adherence to the requirements of these programs We use the information from all of our programs to help us to identify opportunities to improve.Environmental management systemWe have a ISO 14001-certified environmental management system used across our operating sites, which is supported by a corporate Environmental Management Program that outlines the operating requirements sites must meet. Our environmental management system encourages and promotes continuous adaptation of our practices based on new information and technologies.Environmental risk assessmentsWe complete environmental risk assessments to systematically identify, quantify, and to characterize the potential risks to the environment, workers, and the public. We use our environmental risk assessments to inform our decisions and actions. Additionally, we complete an iterative process, where required, to verify that our proposed measures to protect the environment and the public are effective. We review or update the assessments every five years, incorporating results from our environmental monitoring programs and other scientific advances.Corrective action processWe have a corrective action process in place to systematically investigate and address the causes of non-conformance to regulatory requirements or internal standards. The process includes classifying the non-conformance, assigning the appropriate level of investigation (dependent on incident significance), and tracking the recommended corrective actions to prevent and mitigate similar occurrences.AuditsTo support our culture of continuous improvement, our processes and operations undergo regular audits, including:Our environmental management system is audited by a third-party every three years as a requirement to maintain our ISO 14001 certification.Our SHEQ team conducts an internal audit of our SHEQ programs on a three-year cycle. The total audit scope is split in half and executed on a rotating basis. This means that all our sites undergo at least two audits to cover all aspects of our SHEQ programs within every three-year period. The audit follows the ISO 19001 process and encompasses our environmental and safety programs.We also maintain and implement an internal audit program at our corporate office. Results and recommendations from this systematic and documented process are presented to senior management, who are responsible for implementing them and correcting any deficiencies. The internal audit group reports to the audit and finance committee of the board.Environmental Incidents and Other Events​​Environmental incidents and other events are reported to regulatory agencies as required by federal and provincial regulations.

We review or update the assessments every five years, incorporating results from our environmental monitoring programs and other scientific advances.Corrective action processWe have a corrective action process in place to systematically investigate and address the causes of non-conformance to regulatory requirements or internal standards. The process includes classifying the non-conformance, assigning the appropriate level of investigation (dependent on incident significance), and tracking the recommended corrective actions to prevent and mitigate similar occurrences.AuditsTo support our culture of continuous improvement, our processes and operations undergo regular audits, including:Our environmental management system is audited by a third-party every three years as a requirement to maintain our ISO 14001 certification.Our SHEQ team conducts an internal audit of our SHEQ programs on a three-year cycle. The total audit scope is split in half and executed on a rotating basis. This means that all our sites undergo at least two audits to cover all aspects of our SHEQ programs within every three-year period. The audit follows the ISO 19001 process and encompasses our environmental and safety programs.We also maintain and implement an internal audit program at our corporate office. Results and recommendations from this systematic and documented process are presented to senior management, who are responsible for implementing them and correcting any deficiencies. The internal audit group reports to the audit and finance committee of the board.Environmental Incidents and Other Events​Environmental incidents and other events are reported to regulatory agencies as required by federal and provincial regulations. This includes releases to the environment reportable to Ontario Ministry of Environment's Spills Action Centre.If you have questions about any of the items posted here, please contact us.Latest incident or event:Posting DateSeptember 29, 2026  Incident DateSeptember 29, 2026  IncidentERT ActivationDetailsA small fire occurred at the refinery when sparks generated during the removal of a steel bolt from the building cladding ignited insulation material within the cladding.

It was observed that the drain valve on number three coil was leaking glycol. A pipe cap was immediately installed to stop the leak. It was assumed the leak had been minimal and there was minimal glycol in the system since the coil had been isolated and drained in 2023 when it had failed.During a maintenance inspection, it was determined that glycol had passed through the sewage plant and was released to Lake Huron on July 1, 2024. A lab investigation estimates 70L of glycol had spilled.  There was no health or safety risk posed to the public, workers, or the environment by this release.Corrective ActionAn investigation is currently underway by Cameco to prevent future occurrences.The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Town of Blind River and the Ministry of Environment, and Conservation and Parks have been notified.Cameco Environmental Effect Ratingno measurable impact to the environment1Posting DateMay 3, 2024Incident DateMay 2, 2024IncidentReportable SpillDetailsOn April 18, a sink hole was observed near two groundwater supply wells for the Blind River Refinery, close to the Mississaugi River. This sinkhole was located adjacent to the golf course, situated west of the parking lot, which is part of the Town property leased from Cameco. As a precautionary measure, we promptly cordoned off the affected area and initiated the process of determining next steps to have the underground well water supply line repaired. Cameco has been closely monitoring the sinkhole and noted no significant changes. On May 2, it was observed that there is now additional groundwater flow from the well line, carrying sediment and overflowing into the river.There was no health or safety risk posed to the public, workers, or the environment by the release of groundwater that had not been used by the refinery.Corrective ActionCameco is working to rectify the situation and has contacted a contractor to install a silt curtain and are in the process of securing hydrovac services.
