Cameco Makes Additional Progress Toward Partnership with Tenex

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, March 12, 2007 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cameco Corporation announced today that it has signed additional non-binding memorandums of understanding to explore in Russia and Canada with Joint Stock Company Techsnabexport (Tenex), a leading state-owned Russian nuclear company.

Building on the memorandum of understanding signed in November 2006, Cameco and Tenex have further developed terms on which they would co-operate on joint uranium exploration projects in Russia and Canada and, if warranted, engage in development and production of uranium deposits that are found.

Cameco and Tenex have also identified priority projects for possible future joint exploration activities in Russia and Canada that would be disclosed when agreements are finalized.

Cameco anticipates that binding agreements will be signed in 2007.

Cameco has worked with Tenex over a number of years and currently has an agreement with the company to purchase uranium from dismantled Russian weapons.

Tenex, with its head office in Moscow, Russia, is involved with a wide range of nuclear fuel cycle products and services.

Cameco, with its head office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the world’s largest uranium producer. The company’s uranium products are used to generate electricity in nuclear energy plants around the world, providing one of the cleanest sources of energy available today. Cameco’s shares trade on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges.
