Cigar Lake is the world's second-largest known high-grade orebody. Construction of the mine is ongoing. When in production, the slurry will be trucked about 70 kilometres to the McClean Lake mill for processing. As production ramps up, about half of the uranium solution will be trucked from the McClean Lake mill to Cameco's Rabbit Lake operation for final processing and packaging. Mill expansions are planned for both sites.
Planned annual production of 18 million lbs. U3O8 (6,924 tonnes uranium)
Production is targeted for mid-2013 based on current information
Proven and probable reserves of 209.3 million lbs. U3O8 (80,500 tonnes uranium) with an average grade of 17.0% U3O8
Providing a foundation for growth through a safe, responsible mining industry.
