Cameco Corporation (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) announced today that the Kyrgyz Parliament has ratified
the agreement that Cameco and Centerra Gold Inc. signed with the Kyrgyz government that is
described in Cameco’s April 24, 2009 news release. In addition, the Kyrgyz Parliament has passed
legislation authorizing the implementation of all of the terms of the agreement. The legislation
has been forwarded to the Kyrgyz President for signature.
As previously announced, the agreement resolves all outstanding issues with respect to the Kumtor

certainty for continuing operations and future development of the Kumtor project.
Closing of the transactions under the agreement is dependent upon the satisfaction of certain
