Cameco is one of the largest global providers of the fuel needed to energize a clean-air world.
Utilities around the world rely on our nuclear fuel products to generate safe, reliable, emissions-free nuclear power. Together, we are meeting the ever-increasing demand for clean, baseload electricity while delivering energy solutions to support the world's net-zero goals.
For three decades, Cameco has been safely and reliably producing uranium and nuclear fuel products to generate electricity at the world's nuclear reactors. We have interests in tier-one mining and milling operations that have the licensed capacity to produce more than 30 million pounds (our share) of uranium concentrates annually, backed by more than 464 million pounds (our share) of proven and probable mineral reserves. We are also a leading supplier of uranium refining, conversion and fuel manufacturing services.
We are proud to be one of Canada’s largest employers of Indigenous people, and our land holdings, including exploration, span about 2.1 million acres, the majority near our existing operations in northern Saskatchewan.
