From Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin to the Centre of the Global Energy Transition Cameco Corporation (TSX: CCO) is a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based uranium mining, refining, and nuclear services company that has spent 38 years building what is today the most strategically valuable nuclear fuel supply chain in the Western world. The company operates through three segments: Uranium, which encompasses exploration, mining, milling, purchasing, and sale of uranium concentrate across its flagship Canadian operations at McArthur River and Key Lake and the Cigar Lake mine in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin—the highest-grade uranium mining district on earth; Fuel Services, which handles the refining, conversion, and fabrication of uranium concentrate into nuclear fuel intermediates at the Port Hope and Blind River facilities in Ontario; and Westinghouse, the nuclear reactor technology and services company that Cameco acquired a 49% stake in through a partnership with Brookfield Renewable Partners in November 2023, positioning Cameco at the precise intersection of uranium fuel supply and reactor construction that defines the entire nuclear value chain from ore body to operating power plant.Narrative Update • Apr 25
